It is a country rich in fascinating natural landscapes, and their culture is ecologist, as they have maximum respect for the environment and especially for animals. Another important aspect is its multiethnic concentration, which can also be perceived from the various religions practiced in the country such as Catholicism, Protestantism, Buddhism, etc.

When visiting Canada, it is an absolute must to visit the Niagara Falls, the city of Ottawa, Banff National Park, the Bay of Fundy, and many other wonders.

The most frequent, efficient and cost-effective means of transportation are buses, but taxis with fixed and convenient rates are also available.

The climate of Canada is subarctic with very cold and long winters, while summers are short and hot. However, usually, the southern part of the country has a continental climate while the west coast has a mild oceanic climate, meaning few snowfalls during the winter months.

Canada is a magical place waiting to be explored!
