Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver is famed for its stunning natural beauty – and is a paradise for those who love the outdoor life.

You can explore Stanley Park, Granville Island, and the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge Park – or if you want a touch of adventure, visit Grouse Mountain where you can go hiking in summer or skiing in winter.

If you are a thrill seeker by evening, then there’s plenty of nightlife and casino action.

If you’ve had a tiring day and want a night in and want to know what is the best online Canadian casino to join, then there are plenty to choose from in Vancouver.

However, if you want to experience real Vancouver nightlife, then it’s home to the Parq Vancouver Casino – where you can enjoy not just a wide range of gaming options but also fine dining and entertainment.

Banff National Park, Alberta

If you’re a nature lover, then you’ll find Banff National Park is a dream destination. This beautiful park is nestled in the Canadian Rockies and is absolute heaven for hiking, skiing – and simply walking along wildlife watching.

Don’t forget your camera… as you take snaps of the turquoise waters of Lake Louise and the perfectly pretty town of Banff.

Nightlife may not necessarily be in abundance if you’re after a heavy night out, but with quaint restaurants and bars in Banff, this is more of a laid-back vibe.

Quebec City, Quebec

For the history buffs, we have Quebec. Immerse yourself in the charming and historic ambience of Quebec City as you stroll through the cobblestone streets of Old Quebec.

If you’re feeling the need for a bit of culture then take the time to visit the iconic Château Frontenac – and maybe indulge in the delectable French cuisine that it is known for.

If you want a touch of excitement in the evening, then why not head to the Casino de Charlevoix, which is located a short drive away?

This stunning casino offers not just a variety of table games and slots… but also seriously stunning views of the St. Lawrence River.

Toronto, Ontario

You could decide to visit Canada’s largest city, Toronto, which offers a bit more of an urban experience.

Perfect for those who like the hustle and bustle of city breaks, you can explore the CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum and Distillery District.

If you’re into your sports, then it’s always a great experience to catch a game at the Rogers Centre.

If the sporting action isn’t enough excitement for the day, then Toronto also boasts one of the country’s largest and most iconic casinos, the Casino Woodbine.

Niagara Falls, Ontario

Let’s face it, Niagara Falls is synonymous with Canada. Who hasn’t got this one on their bucket list? Well, it certainly won’t disappoint.

You can witness the jaw-dropping natural wonder of Niagara Falls and maybe take a boat tour so you can get right up close and actually feel the mist on your face.

Aside from the waterfall views, you can also explore the gorgeous town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and its wineries.

If you are looking for a bit of evening excitement, then you can visit the Fallsview Casino Resort, which offers a grand casino experience overlooking the falls – along with a fabulous restaurant, so you can eat with some of the best views in the country.

Ultimately, whether you prefer the great outdoors, a bit of culture, or you’re an adrenaline junkie, Canada has it all!
