Everyone knows that Canada is a magical place. We have the best hockey teams, amazing food, and the Canadian Rockies. Enough said. In fact, there are so many awesome things to do here, it can be hard to pick just one. Don\u2019t worry\u2014we\u2019ve done it for you. And since we know you\u2019ve probably heard enough about Niagara Falls and where to find the best poutine, we dug a little deeper to find the truly unique things that make our country so special. Read on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alberta<\/h2>\n

Discover a new national park at Waterton Lakes<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

You\u2019re wandering in the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by majestic peaks and glacial lakes carved millions of years ago. You may think you\u2019re in Banff, but it\u2019s actually even better. Waterton Lakes National Park is nestled in the southwest corner of Alberta, on the border of Montana\u2014and here you\u2019ll find all the beauty of Banff, with far fewer people messing up your photo ops. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: If you\u2019re looking for things to do in Calgary<\/a>, a tour of Big Rock Brewery by one of their trained \u201cbeerologists\u201d is a good start\u2014and the tasting flight doesn\u2019t hurt, either.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

British Columbia<\/h2>\n

Explore the wild west on the Rocky Mountaineer<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

If there\u2019s one province that\u2019s going to give you major FOMO, it\u2019s BC. The Rockies! Vancouver! Tons of silly-looking moose! Luckily, there\u2019s no need to pick just one place to visit in British Columbia when you\u2019ve got the Rocky Mountaineer. Marvel at Pyramid Falls, descend into the Rocky Mountain Trench, or be one of the few to experience the Spiral Tunnels first-hand \u2026 all while sipping cocktails in your comfy train car. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: Get multicultural on Vancouver\u2019s Commercial Drive. Some favs: Cuban cocktails at Havana Restaurant and custom Italian sandwiches at La Grotta del Formaggio.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Manitoba<\/h2>\n

Be dazzled by the Northern Lights in Flin Flon<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Top: Flickr\/Robert Linsdell<\/a>; Bottom Left: Flickr\/Emmanuel Milou<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ever heard of Josiah Flintabbatey Flonatin? The city of Flin Flon is named after this character from a 1905 sci-fi book, and it\u2019s appropriate\u2014the Northern Lights you can see from here are out of this world! Get cozy at a lakeside lodge and snowshoe your way to nightly viewings in the clear, starry skies. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: Live like a local in Winnipeg. Head to Bridge Drive-In and order up \u201cthe Goog.\u201d It\u2019s a combination of blueberry shake and banana split. Yum!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Brunswick<\/h2>\n

Experience the world\u2019s highest tides at Cape Enrage<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be \u201cswept away\u201d by the Bay of Fundy, home of the world\u2019s highest tides. But you haven\u2019t truly lived until you\u2019ve rappelled down the cliffs of Cape Enrage. Explore the critters and shells of the beach, which is covered by up to 16 metres of ocean at high tide. Oh yeah, you can also zoom across the peninsula on a zipline and explore the oldest lighthouse in New Brunswick. What are you waiting for?<\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: Snap some pics at the Moncton Tidal Bore, where the bay\u2019s huge tides cause the Petitcodiac River to reverse direction twice a day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Newfoundland and Labrador<\/h2>\n

Befriend Atlantic puffins near Bay Bulls<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Top Left: Flickr\/Tony Smith<\/a>; Bottom Left: Flickr\/Billy Idle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of all the things to do in Newfoundland<\/a>, you might not have heard of this one. This province is home to the largest colony of Atlantic puffins in North America\u2014and that\u2019s a pretty adorable record to hold. Book a stay in the town of Bay Bulls and hop on a boat with O’Brien’s Whale and Bird Tours for a trip to the puffins\u2019 home in Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: St. John\u2019s is known for its Irish heritage, so dig into fish and chips at Celtic Hearth, then head upstairs for a pint at the bar.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nova Scotia<\/h2>\n

Let the Cabot Trail take your breath away<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cabot Trail winds its way in a 300 km loop around all of Nova Scotia\u2019s must-see spots. Find charming artisans in St. Ann\u2019s Bay, authentic Celtic music in Margaree, and of course, the windswept landscapes of Cape Breton National Park. You could drive, but why not pedal instead? Freewheeling Adventures runs a five-day cycling experience for the truly intrepid explorer. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: Hunker down for ghost stories at The Five Fishermen in Halifax, a former funeral home that served as the morgue for the Titanic. Yikes!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ontario<\/h2>\n

Run with wolves at Haliburton Forest<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alright, you can\u2019t actually run with the wolves, but you can catch a one-of-a-kind glimpse into their wild world thanks to Haliburton Forest\u2019s observation deck. The park also has dogsled tours, a canopy walk, an observatory, and more. Whatever you choose to do, we\u2019re certain you\u2019ve never seen nature quite like this. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: Take your future profile picture at the Vog Vault in Toronto, a gravity-defying illusion room in the back of Fluevog Shoes on Queen Street.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prince Edward Island<\/h2>\n

Give your friends Instagram-envy at the Red Sands Shore<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PEI\u2019s unique Red Sands Shore gives you some impressive selfies: sandstone cliffs and auburn clay roads that look especially amazing at sunset. Turn on panorama mode for stunning photos at Argyle Shores or put your zoom to use at the Chelton Beach tide pools. A pic of the Chelton Beach horses out for their daily exercise will definitely get you loads of \u201clikes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: If you\u2019re wondering what to do in Charlottetown<\/a>, the answer is easy: A plate of fresh lobster from Lobster on the Wharf is the perfect finish to your trip.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Qu\u00e9bec<\/h2>\n

Follow the Flavour Trail in Charlevoix<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We bet you didn\u2019t know that visiting Charelvoix is one of the best things to do in Canada for foodies. It\u2019s all about the three Cs: cheese, chocolate, and charcuterie. The Flavour Trail has over 40 local producers and restaurants: Try oyster mushrooms at Champignons Charlevoix and award-winning cheese at Maison Maurice Dufour. Wash it all down with a fourth C: cider from Ciderie Vergers Pedneault.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: Montr\u00e9al is home to a must-do activity of its own: Down a pint at Canada\u2019s oldest bar, L\u2019Auberge Saint-Gabriel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saskatchewan<\/h2>\n

Indulge in nature\u2019s spa at Little Manitou Lake<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Little Manitou Lake is three times saltier than the ocean\u2014and it\u2019s the only lake of its kind in the western hemisphere. These waters may or may not have healing properties, but one thing is certain: floating weightlessly in \u201cCanada\u2019s Dead Sea\u201d has to be experienced to be believed. Jump in for free, or buy a day pass from Manitou Springs Resort and Mineral Spa and get totally pampered.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the city<\/em>: The Crazy Cactus in Saskatoon is \u201cHome of the Gringo\u201d\u2014it\u2019s Sol beer, tequila, triple sec, and lime. Let\u2019s just say you\u2019ll be singing along to Bon Jovi before you know it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Grab a travel buddy and your bucket list\u2014it\u2019s time to check off some new spots. These nine are a good start, but they\u2019ll probably just fuel your wanderlust. Luckily, Canada has plenty of beauty and adventure, just around every corner.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
