There are many cities in Canada, all of which are distinctive, welcoming to tourists, and well worth visiting. Here are the nine most popular cities:
  • Ottawa - Canada's national capital, this city is home to national government monuments like Parliament Hill, many major museums like the Museum of Civilization, cool urban neighbourhoods like the ByWard Market, and great old architecture.
  • Calgary - A boom-town without a doubt, Calgary is a major Canadian financial city, but for non-business travelers, it offers world-class Calgary Zoo, the Calgary Tower, the Calgary Stampede, Glenbow Museum, shopping at Chinook Mall and Atlantic Ave, and is only a short distance from the recreation of the Rockies.
  • Halifax -home to the second largest natural harbour in the world is rich in history with architecture dating back from English colonialism. See fortress Citadel hill, Canadian museum of the Atlantic, and the active night life where everything is a short walk away.
  • Montreal - Once Canada's largest metropolis, Montreal is the core of North America's Francophone culture (you can still get by with English) and is home to some of the finest galleries, museums, venues, and festivals in the country along with great shopping on streets like Saint Catherine and Saint Denis. Don't miss Mount Royal, either.
  • Quebec City - The Province of Quebec's capital, this city is well known for its quaint Old city, it's grand winter festival, and gorgeous architecture, like the Chateau Frontenac.
  • Toronto - The largest city in Canada, Toronto is the media, business, and immigration capital of Canada. Toronto is well known for landmarks like the CN Tower, but also has great museums, entertainment, sports, and shopping across its great expanse.
  • Vancouver - The city where West Coast Urbanism and "Vancouverism" started, Vancouver is a city of steel and glass condominiums and outstanding natural beauty. It is unique in that it is a city where one can ski and sit on the beach in the same 24 hours. The city was also the host of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
  • Whitehorse - Midpoint of the Alaska Highway, gateway to the outdoor activities of Canada's far north.
  • Winnipeg - This city is near the heart of the continent and has a rich French-Canadian culture, along with well preserved blocks of historic commercial buildings, renowned arts and culture, and the vibrancy of the Forks.
