Cultural Canadian Cities
The capital city of Canada is Ottawa, not the largest city in the country, it has more of a small town feel and it is a must see. There is more to the city then the grand parliament buildings that sit on Parliament Hill, alongside Rideau Canal and Ottawa River. There is an abundance of amazing museums from the historic Diefenbunker to the fun Canadian Aviation and Space museum.
The Rideau Canal runs through the heart of the city, where you can sail along by paddleboard or yachts in the summer months or ice skate across when frozen in the winter months, creating the largest ice rink in the world. Enjoy the famous Winterlude festival, great markets, fine dining and fantastic bar and night scene.
Toronto is the largest city in Canada and is often ranked in the top cities in the world and is easy to see why. The city attracts people from all over including A-listers and jet-setters alike, this is probably due to incredible skyline, fine dining and high-end shopping. Not to be missed whilst in the city, is a visit up the CN Tower for breath-taking views, roaming the Royal Ontario Museum and some retail therapy in Yorkville.

Just minutes away there are three ski hills, so you can enjoy the great outdoors and cocktails on Granville Island all in one day.
Quebec City is one of the oldest city in North America, dating back to 1608 and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Located on the St Lawrence River and home to the French Canadians, the city has a beautiful European feel, with a blend of culture and architecture.
Admire the Chateau de Frontenac standing alongside the St Lawrence River, then hop on a horse cart, pulling you along the cobbled streets to finish of with pint in a pub that feels like you have stepped into the 17th century.
Montreal is Canada’s European city and is a French speaking province, although you will have no problem speaking English.
