Canadian Hotels and Travel

Canada is a highly developed, stable democracy. Tourist facilities are widely available except in northern and wilderness areas, where they are less developed and can be vast distances apart. Entry into Canada is solely determined by Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials in accordance with Canadian law. Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada must carry both proof of citizenship and identity.

Accommodations in Canada vary substantially in price depending on time and place. In most cities and many tourist areas, expect to pay upwards of $100 or more for a good hotel room. In rural areas, motels (for "motor hotel") are small, simple hotels where you might pay as little as $40 for a night's accommodation (especially in the off season.) In many areas, a B&B (bed and breakfast) is a nice option.

Other options include cottage rentals on the lakes and in the countryside and apartment rentals in the cities. Prices compare to hotels and motels and this type of lodging provides some comfort of home while you are traveling. Finally, there is a huge number of campgrounds in Canada. These range from privately owned R.V. parks to the publicly operated campgrounds in national and provincial parks, and are almost always well-kept and generally very beautiful.

Toronto is the capital city of Canada. Attractions include the 1815 foot tall CN tower, as well as the longest street in the world. Visitors should not miss the Royal Canadian Museum or the Samuel Canadian Gallery. Toronto is known as a city of neighbourhoods. Distinct areas, often centred around a main street, are packed tightly together but each has something different to offer. The relative compactness of these neighbourhoods makes exploring on foot easy and pleasant, especially in the warmer months.

The smallest province is Prince Edward Island. Enjoy breathtaking landscapes including dramatic sandstone cliffs, rich green fields, and a sparkling blue coastline. Located in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence between the island of Newfoundland and the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia mainland, PEI is one of Canada's most famous tourist destinations.

Rooted in the French tradition, visitors of New Brunswick will feast on an incredible array of seafood. The largest town, Saint John, is steeped in history. New Brunswick is the only province in Canada that is officially bilingual.

Also historical is the centuries old Viking outpost in the Newfoundland region. This is the largest province in the Atlantic region. The beauty of Newfoundland can be found on the rocky coasts of the island and the relatively new, and stunningly beautiful East Coast Trail, but this is a truly coast-to-coast kind of place. There's much to see in the Tundra of Labrador (often called "the Big Land"), the "mini-Rockies" of the West Coast's Long Range Mountains and Lewis Hills, the historic Avalon Peninsula, home to the capital of St. John's.

Nova Scotia brings a fusion of Scotish and French cultures. Tourists will also delight in the blend of historic architecture and modern buildings such as shopping malls and hotels. Halifax has the main international airport in the province. The largest protected wilderness area in Atlantic Canada.

The international region of Montreal, located in the Quebec province, treats travelers to cultural and seasonal festivals. Situated on an island in the St. Lawrence River just at its highest navigable point, Montreal has been a strategic location since before the arrival of Europeans in Canada.

Vancouver, the third largest city in Canada, is located in British Columbia. Attractions are featured for all ages, including the Stanley Park Zoo and the historic Gastown. British Columbia is a very mountainous region. There are a number of major mountain ranges ending with the Rocky Mountains that divide BC and Alberta.

Vacation rentals in Canada include world class hotels, historic inns, quaint cottages, and delightful bed and breakfasts.
