If you are looking for a place to dine out, visit one of the restaurants at the Dow Lakes Pavilion for its serene environment and surrounding natural beauty. And if you are interested in exploring something new, take a tour of the Royal Canadian Mint to experience the art of coin-making first hand.
Newfoundland, Canada Sightseeing and Attractions
With St. Johns as its capital, Newfoundland is the easternmost province of Canada. As opposed to the traditional vacationers view of a vacation replete with sightseeing and hotel stays Newfoundland offers many opportunities to explore the natural landscape. There is much to do off the island in the Atlantic through arranged tours for example, deep-sea fishing, whale watching, ice berg watching, island exploration and kayaking. Island exploration can have a historical touch if you chose to explore abandoned fishing villages and shipwrecks. And if you are looking to stay n the Island, one of the options you have is to have fun with the snow by exploring snowmobile and snowshoeing trails. Another option is to camp or explore in any one of the 2 national and 14 provincial parks the Island has. The Gros Morne National Park has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of rare geology and a peek into ancient human populations, which adds to the attractiveness of its natural landscape.
Canada Vacations The majestic Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is undoubtedly the most popular and visited waterfall in the entire world despite the fact that it holds no records of being the steepest or longest waterfall. Niagara Falls consists of three waterfalls Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls on the U. S. side of the border. From the Canadian Side, Queen Victoria Park offers many access points to spectacular views of Horseshoe and American Falls. The Maid of the Mist ferry is the oldest and most popular way to experience the Falls firsthand. Journey Behind the Falls entails taking an elevator down into the gorge and viewing the waterfall from the deck behind it. The sight is particularly amazing in the winter when the surroundings are glinting with the cover of ice on trees and buildings. A third way is a ride in the Whirlpool Aero Car, a cable car that takes you to the centre of the falls for about 10 minutes for an experience of a lifetime.
Canada Vacations Vacation in Montreal
Montreal takes its name from Mont-Royal, the triple peaked hill located at the centre of the city. At the centre of Quebecs activities, Montreal holds the distinction of housing Old Montreal, a living old town with its buildings and infrastructure intact from the days gone by. The best way to understand the beauty of this heritage site is to take a walking tour of the town which helps you explore the history and important parts. Something more modern is the Olympic Park, built for the 1976 Olympic Games. Something to witness in the Park is the tower in the main stadium which is said to be the tallest inclined tower in the entire world. Another attraction is the Montreal Botanical Gardens which house thousands of plants as well as dedicated structures such as Chinese and Japanese Gardens and Insectariums. Another must-visit site is the Notre-Dame Basilica which is Montreals oldest Catholic Church and is popular for the intricate designs and majestic outlook it has.
