TOP 10 TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN CANADA

1. TOP 10 TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN
CANADA

2. Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland is
important to the world, geologically, because the
ancient rocks help people understand how the oceans
and continents were created. The park is a nature
lover’s paradise featuring lowlands along the Gulf of St.
Lawrence and the alpine setting of the Long Range
Mountains. The park is popular with wildlife viewers
who’ll see everything from tiny songbirds to giant
whales; black bears, moose and deer are common. Most
visitors come here during the short summer season.
The exception is the peak winter season (from February
to April), when the park experiences another mini-
boom in snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.

3. 9. CALGARY STAMPEDE
The Calgary Stampede, one of the most famous
rodeos in the world, traces its origins back to the
traveling wild west shows of the late 1800s and
early 1900s. The Stampede has grown over the
years, today attracting the best cowboys in the
world who compete for $2 million in prize money.
Other activities include live concerts, a carnival,
lots of food and dancing as this Canadian city hosts
the best in the west. A 4 km (2.5 mile) parade
opens what Calgary calls “the greatest outdoor
show on earth”. The 10-day event is held every
July.

4. 8. VICTORIA’S INNER HARBOUR
Victoria’s Inner Harbour on Vancouver Island is a cool place to
visit. There’s the water on one side and stately government
buildings on the other since Victoria is the capital of British
Columbia. The city hosts a classic boat festival on Labor Day in
September, with the harbor filling up with wooden boats. Visitors
can also navigate the harbor on kayaks or tour boats. Take time out
to have a traditional British tea at the Empress Hotel, a Victoria
landmark since the early 1900s; it’s right across from the harbor.

5. 7. BAY OF FUNDY
The Bay of Fundy, located on the Atlantic coast
in Eastern Canada, is famous for its high tidal range.
Because of the unique shape of the bay, the difference
in water level between high tide and low tide can be as
much as 16 meters (52 feet). One of the best places to
watch the tides are the Hopewell Rocks, a number of
sandstone towers topped by trees. The base of the rock
formations are covered in water twice a day and can be
seen from the ground level at low tide.

6. 6. ATHABASCA FALLS
Jasper National Park in the Alberta province is the
largest of Canada’s Rocky Mountain Parks boasting
broad valleys, rugged mountains, glaciers, forests,
alpine meadows and wild rivers. One of the top
attractions is Athabasca Falls, a beautiful waterfall that
thunders through a narrow gorge. Even when the water
level in the upper Athabasca River is low, huge
quantities of water pour over the falls. Several viewing
platforms and trails where it is safe to photograph the
picturesque scene are located around the falls. Motorists
can cross over the falls by taking Highway 93A into the
town of Jasper.

7. 5. CHURCHILL
It may only be a small town of 1,000 residents
in the Manitoba province on the Hudson Bay
shore, but Churchill draws huge crowds every
year to see its most famous inhabitants, the
polar bears. Nicknamed the “Polar Bear Capital
of the World,” it is one of the top tourist
attractions in Canada. In addition to polar bears,
Churchill is also a popular place for viewing
beluga whales, birds and the aurora borealis.

8. 4. NIAGARA FALLS
Many Americans think of Niagara Falls as being only a
waterfall in the United States, namely New York, when
in actuality, Niagara Falls is three falls on the border
between the United States and Canada. Horseshoe Falls
is the largest falls and is located mainly on the
Canadian side, while the smaller American and Bridal
Veil falls are mostly on the U.S. side. Combined, the
three falls have a higher flow rate than any other in the
world. About 20 million people visit here annually,
with many of them taking a boat ride on Maid of the
Mist, the falls’ oldest attraction.

9. 3. THE CANADIAN
 Travelers looking for a relaxing way to cross
Canada may want to consider the train, in this
case, the Canadian. Connecting Toronto and
Vancouver, this is one of the world’s more
famous train rides, traveling through the lakes of
northern Ontario, the prairie provinces and the
Canadian Rockies including Jasper National
Park, to end at the cosmopolitan city
of Vancouver. It takes 3 days to cover the 4,466
kilometers (2,775 miles) connecting the two
cities. Via Rail recently spent $22 million
modernizing the train.

10. 2. VIEUX-QUEBEC
 Vieux-Québec, or Old Quebec, is an historic district in Quebec
City. This is where the French explorer Samuel de Champlain
founded Saint Louis Fort in 1608. The military presence here was
strong under both the French and the British, with the area being
heavily fortified. Today it is a tourist district with many small
boutiques and hundreds of historical and photographic points of
interest. Visitors will want to take in the Citadel, known as she
“Gibraltar of the Americas,” because of its strategic location
overlooking the St. Lawrence River. Visitors also will want to take
in the iconic Chateau Frontenac, and enjoy the charm of
European style shopping on Rue Saint Jean.

11. 1.MORAINE LAKE
 Moraine Lake, in Banff National Park is one of the
most photographed places in western Canada. This
glacier-fed lake is a gorgeous blue-green surrounded
by mountains in Alberta. It’s located in the Valley of
the Ten Peaks at an elevation of 1,885 meters (6,183
feet). The Rock pile Trail is popular with tourists who
snap their photos at its end. At one time this alpine
lake was featured on Canada’s $20 bill, earning this
site the nickname of Twenty Dollar View. Other
hiking trails offer spectacular views of the lake;
visitors can get a different view by canoeing in it.
