Traveler's Companion Western Canada

Mehr zum Buch

Eastern Canada's cosmopolitan cities, its French-bilingual heritage and its marvelous wilderness areas create a palette of culture and adventure unlike that found anywhere else on the planet. The Traveler's Eastern Canada Companion is your key to this fascinating region. Take in the great Toronto, where the CN Tower-the world's tallest freestanding structure-pierces the skyline; Ottawa, the ideal capital city; bilingual, fun-loving Montreal; and Quebec, the walled city and World Heritage Site. Marvel at natural the misty grandeur of Niagara Falls, the spectacular coastline of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island, and the last untamed rapids of the St. Lawrence River. Journey to eastern Canada's off-the-beaten-path Newfoundland's spring ritual of the returning humpback whales, Labrador's saw-toothed Torngat mountains, and Churchill, Manitoba, "the Polar Bear capital" of the world. Along the way, the authors share their experience and frank opinions, offering recommendations for recreation from skiing to motor-coach touring, dining options from the French provincial flavors of Quebec to the Ukrainian kitchens of Winnipeg, and exceptional accommodation to suit all tastes and pockets.
