Best Places to Visit in Canada

Vancouver

Even by North American standards, Vancouver is a young city (it was founded in 1886). But what it lacks in history is made up for by culture. The city’s high-fashion clothes shops and health-conscious (关注的) eating make it an attractive urban playground. Plus, its breath-taking mountains and beaches have been the setting for a group of popular television shows.

Québec City

The 2008 celebration of its 400th birthday made Québec City the focus of people’s attention again. Since then, travelers have flooded here to experience this UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) World Heritage site’s charm for themselves. As the birthplace of New France, Québec City continues to support the culture of its motherland. And around every corner, a piece of Québec City’s rich heritage is waiting for discovery.

Montreal

There is only one word that really describes Montreal: multifaceted (多面性). This city represents the combination of the Old and New Worlds, with 18th-century structures integrating into a 21st-century skyline. Old-fashioned houses are now home to restaurants, Just when you thought you’d seen it all, a short elevator (电梯) ride exposes you to a huge consumer shopping center located several floors below ground level.

Toronto

Toronto is considered one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, with more than half the population born outside of the city. With Greektown, Little Italy, Koreatown and Chinatown all within city limits, travelers may feel as if they’ve seen more than a couple of countries after a visit to Toronto. The city is also home to one of the tallest freestanding towers in the world, the CN Tower, and the world’s largest underground shopping mall, PATH.
