国家旅行指南

Canada, the world's second-largest country, offers epic road trips through staggering natural beauty—from Atlantic fishing villages to Pacific rainforests, from prairie horizons to Arctic wilderness. This bilingual nation provides world-class driving adventures.

The Trans-Canada Highway stretches over 7,800 kilometers coast to coast, passing through every province. The Sea-to-Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler ranks among North America's most beautiful drives. The Icefields Parkway through the Canadian Rockies between Banff and Jasper delivers glacier-fed lakes and mountain grandeur.

The Cabot Trail loops around Cape Breton Island with Atlantic coastal drama. The Viking Trail in Newfoundland leads to L'Anse aux Meadows, the only authenticated Viking settlement in North America. Quebec's old-world charm in Montreal and Quebec City blends French and Canadian cultures.

Vancouver combines mountain and ocean settings with excellent cuisine. Toronto provides multicultural urban experiences. The Northern Lights appear across the northern territories, while whale watching opportunities span both coasts.

Canadian cuisine varies by region—poutine (fries, gravy, cheese curds) from Quebec, Atlantic lobster, Alberta beef, British Columbia salmon, and maple syrup everywhere. Craft beer and ice wine deserve attention.

Driving in Canada is on the right with excellent highway infrastructure. An International Driving Permit is required for many foreign licenses. Vast distances require careful planning—fuel stations can be hundreds of kilometers apart in northern regions. Winter driving demands proper preparation with winter tires mandatory in several provinces.
