Canada is known for its alluring wilderness and charming cities. The country’s beauty is remarkable and just about anywhere you travel will leave you with a refreshing outlook on life and a renewed love for nature. Here are some of the most beautiful places in Canada.
1) Ottawa
The city of Ottawa looks like an elaborate painting blended with a modern metropolitan city. Nestled at the meeting of three major rivers – the Ottawa River, the Gatineau River, and the Rideau River – Canada’s capital city has 19th century architecture and outdoor vistas made to charm any visitor.
The most popular site in Ottawa is the Rideau Canal, which cuts through the heart of the city. Many residents and tourists can be seen having picnics or relaxing on an afternoon break near the canal. In the winter, when this massive body of streaming water is completely frozen over, the canal transforms into the world’s largest ice skating rink. This alone is a sight enough to make the trip.
2) Capilano Suspension Bridge
Erected in 1889, the Capilano Suspension Bridge stretches 450 feet from end to end and hovers a staggering 230 feet above the Capilano River. Not only does this massive suspension bridge walk you through the enchanting views of Canada’s West Coast Rainforest, it also mesmerizes you with the sounds of the Canadian wildlife and historical significance.
The Capilano Bridge’s gravity defying height and mind boggling length are not the only highlights that make this place popular. The very fact that it’s only a few minutes from the center of Vancouver City makes it enticing for all visitors to the area. If you go, try getting to the bridge before 10am or after 4pm to beat the crowds.
