In Canada most paths are still less travelled. Untouched woods, mountains and coastlines wait to be discovered. The cities, on the contrary, are totally up-to-date, while English and French influences make for an interesting mixture, not just with regard to the languages. Culturally, Canada is also the land of unknown diversity.

Vancouver
As a big city located directly on the sea and home to one of the world’s prettiest parks, Vancouver leaves nothing to be desired.
-
Toronto
Toronto, Canada’s largest city is located at the North-western shore of Lake Ontario and is a melting pot of many different cultures.

There are only a few places in Canada where the influence of British and French colonialists is better observed.
BIG CITIES IN THE WILDERNESS
When the French mourned the loss of their former worry (Canada) to England, they described the area as ”a few hectares of snow”. The French government seemed to be almost relieved they were getting rid of their colony. The British on the other hand, did everything in their power to rid the area of all forms of French influence. However, to this day, both cultures are still contributing greatly to shaping the fascinating character of Canada. Toronto, with its skyscrapers, neat suburbs geometrically-designed and clearly laid-out roadways, stands in stark contrast to Vancouver, a city that lies on the ocean and is surrounded by mountains, at the same time reflecting a big city and raw nature. Canada is the second largest country on earth with landscapes of breathtaking contrast and beauty. The windy coasts of the Maritimes are as much part of Canada as the rich valleys of the Niagara peninsula, the endless expanse of the prairie grasslands and the inhospitable Arctic ice fields. The giant lakes of the country rank among the largest on earth. Untouched nature, often intimidating in its expanse, has an almost magical effect and draw for visitors. However, the climate is not quite as inhospitable and unpleasant as rumour has it. Some regions are comparable to those found in Switzerland, though average winter temperatures in parts are somewhat lower. Although Canada has welcomed many immigrants in the past and is still doing so, it still ranks as one of the least populated regions in the world – one of the last remaining natural wonders – which you must see with your own eyes.
