Ontario

Holidays in Ontario

Ontario is one of the most diverse provinces in Canada and it does everything on a grand scale. From the multi-cultural metropolis of Toronto, to the thundering cascade of Niagara Falls. The charms of the country’s capital Ottawa to the wilderness areas of the Bruce Peninsula, Algonquin Provincial Park and Thousand Islands National Park. This is Canada at its magnificent best.

Sitting on the shores of Lake Ontario, Toronto is a true melting pot of cultures and will bring out the globetrotter in even the most reluctant of travellers. Explore its numerous districts and neighbourhoods, which sit shoulder to shoulder. With just a few steps you can be submerged in the lively atmosphere of Little Italy, Koreatown, or the laid-back vibes of Kensington Market. Old Town is the birthplace of Toronto and home to one of the finest food markets in the world. Whilst in the arty Distillery Historic District you’ll find a charming enclave of cafes and galleries, all housed within Victorian-era architecture. If you’ve a head for heights a visit to the top of the CN Tower is a must, not least for the panoramic views. For a change of pace take the 15-minute ferry ride to the Toronto Islands, which lie in the harbour.

The nation’s capital city of Ottawa is a pleasing blend of old and new and steeped in tradition. Visit Parliament Hill, the National Gallery of Canada and enjoy a feast of culinary experiences and festivals. Ontario’s only UNESCO site, the Rideau Canal, wends its way through Ottawa’s downtown, and during the winter months transforms into a magical, winter wonderland skating rink, as the water freezes over.

To truly experience Ontario’s charms though you need to get out and explore the pristine wilderness. Discover Algonquin, Canada’s oldest provincial park and a great Canadian wilderness that is spectacular in any season or the Bruce Peninsula and the calm waters of Lake Huron. Whilst, in the dark, cool waters of Georgian Bay, you’ll find Fathom Five, Canada’s first National Marine Conservation Area.
