Canada
For lovers of the great outdoors, nature and magnificent landscapes, Canada is a destination that has it all. Yes, you’ll find Niagara Falls, delicious maple syrup and ice hockey here, but there are other things about this country that make it stand out. Spread out across a total of six time zones are mountains, glaciers, beaches, a desert, and bustling cosmopolitan cities. It really offers a diverse wealth of scenery and there are plenty of amazing national parks to walk around, skiing areas to enjoy and bodies of water to have fun on. For the foodies, Canada is a prime destination, offering up an array of cuisine and, of course, its famous dish – poutine, which is a must-try for any visitor.
