12 stunning photos that will make you travel to Canada

Canada is calling.

On Thursday, Travel + Leisure magazine named Canada “Top Destination of the Year”. One reason: the government of Canada has provided the opportunity to visit any of the more than 200 national parks, historical sites, and marine reserves in the country. So, here are 12 things to do in Canada.

12 PHOTOS

1. With a population of about 2.6 million, Toronto is Canada's largest city, with world-class restaurants, museums, universities and historic districts. And the Canadian dollar is 46.84, so you don't have to take a lot of credit here.

2. Sample dishes from Chef Lorenzo Loseto in George, served on small plates. We especially recommend tuna with sweet potatoes, goat cheese, and broccoli.

3. One of the best ski slopes is located in Whistler. Be sure to conquer its slopes.

4. The city of Whistler itself has all the delights of an alpine village.

5. The most popular tourist city in Canada is Victoria, which is located on Vancouver Island. Millions of tourists visit it every year.

6. Its harbor is occupied by whale watching vessels, seaplanes, and other marine vessels.

7. Outside Victoria, there is Hatley Castle, which once served as a dormitory for the Royal War College cadets. Now tourists can take walking tours of the estate.

8. No epic tour of Canada is complete without a visit to Banff National Park. Lake Moraine creates a particularly dramatic perspective.

9. Just a few kilometers to the north, Jasper National Park offers over 10,000 square kilometers of unspoiled hiking and camping.

10. In Edmonton, you will find the world's second-largest indoor water park in North America's largest shopping center, West Edmonton.

11. Edmonton is a great place to sample food from other cultures, especially from Ukraine. The capital of Alberta is home to the Cultural Heritage Village of Ukraine.

12. Montreal has a European flavor. Visit world-class museums and marvel at its quaint cobbled streets and boutiques.
