6 Of The Most Popular Attractions In Canada

You've applied for your Canadian visa, have your suitcase open and ready to pack

and you can't wait to go, however as the country is so vast if you want to see even a fraction of what's on offer in one visit, you have to plan extensively.

These 6 attractions are some of the most popular in Canada and you should try, if you're only visiting once, to incorporate as many of them as you can into your trip.

1. Niagara Falls - viewable from both America and Canada, it is widely accepted that standing in Ontario, Canada offers the best view of the 167 foot high waterfalls, for the simple fact that the whole Canadian part of Niagara Falls is a lot less commercialised than the American side, showcasing the area's real natural beauty.

2. CN Tower - taking three years to build from 1973 to 1976, the CN Tower acts as both a communication tower and observation post and was, up until 2007, the largest freestanding structure in the world, a title which was taken away from the tower when the Burj Khalifa was opened in September of that year.

3. Rocky Mountains - although the majority of the Rocky Mountains is located within America, a substantial amount of this famous mountain range is situated in Canada, stretching from north east British Colombia along the border of Alberta until it enters northern Idaho and Montana in America.

Within the Canadian stretch of the Rocky Mountains is one of the most popular parts of the entire range, the Valley of the Ten Peaks and Moraine Lake, a crystal blue expanse of water that is something of sheer beauty.

4. Churchill - when you first applied for your visa for Canada, you might have had all sorts of different ideas about what you would see. However, it would be surprising if one of those ideas was a polar bear.

Located on the north east coast of the province of Manitoba, the small town of Churchill sees thousands of people visit each year to see polar bears - and beluga whales - all in their natural habitat.

5. Stanley Park - a combination of man-made products and natural development, Stanley Park is located in downtown Vancouver and covers an extensive 1.5 square miles. To put the size of the park into context, New York's Central Park is 2.5 miles long and 0.5 miles wide and Stanley Park is over 10% bigger, making it one of the largest urban parks in the whole of the Americas.

6. Whistler Blackcomb - if you're not a skier, then Whistler Blackcomb will not sound familiar at all. If you are a skier, however, then you'll know just how highly regarded Whistler Blackcomb is as one of the world's best ski resorts.

Situated in British Colombia, Whistler Blackcomb is one of the largest ski resorts on the globe, having over 12.5 square miles worth of skiable land and several high peaks, including its highest elevation point that is a staggering 7,349 feet high.
