Canada is amazing! With stunning cities, picturesque towns, nightlife and wildlife, as well as First Nations culture stretching back thousands of years, Canada has something for everyone.

Vancouver is a city surrounded by nature. You can ski in the morning and paddleboard in the afternoon, or shop for vintage and visit craft breweries and distillery tasting rooms on funky Main Street. Eat Japanese Izakaya and sing late-night karaoke in upstairs rooms of Korean restaurants in the West End.

Take a walk with a First Nations guide through Stanley Park and learn more about indigenous culture. And enjoy that glorious Vancouver lifestyle of feasting on ocean-fresh seafood overlooking those snow-topped mountains.

This totem pole in Stanley Park, Vancouver, is just the start; there’s a whole world to discover when it comes to Canada’s First Nations, each with its own language, traditions, art and history. Launch your kayak from downtown Vancouver, paddle past soaring skyscrapers and mossy green mountains as you hear ancient legends from your First Nations guide.

Sip artisan soda made from traditional First Nations ingredients in a funky Gastown teahouse with Coast Salish peoples’ wool weaving on the wall. Understand First Nations culture is contemporary, not historical.

What’s a little mist when you’re high above the treetops on Vancouver’s Grouse Mountain, deep in the temperate rainforest yet only 30 minutes from downtown? Take the scenic route, soaring to 854 metres on the Grouse Mountain Skyride, keeping watch for bears below; or join the locals on the Grouse Grind, a punishing 1.8 mile (2.9km) hike to the peak’s plateau.

Alpine flowers brush your boots as you trek through the summer meadows, eagles wheeling overhead. In winter, you can snowshoe the twinkling Light Walk around the frozen Blue Grouse Lake.

It’s easy to daydream of living in one of the floating houses bobbing in the bay at Fisherman’s Wharf in Victoria, British Columbia’s capital, on Vancouver Island. You could spend days exploring the museums and galleries, shopping for quirky one-off treasures in Chinatown, and nights enjoying tapas in Trounce Alley, sipping locally made wine as the lights of the Parliament Buildings twinkle.

Snap up fresh-fried fish and chips at Barb’s and watch the seaplanes take off and land in the inner harbour. Or just watch playful seals basking in the sunshine.

Things look different from 342 metres above the ground. Feel the breeze on your face from the outdoor Sky Terrace of Toronto’s CN Tower. Your heart hammers as you step on to a glass floor to see the city far below. Look out, past the skyscrapers and busy streets, to the chain of islands off the shores of Lake Ontario.

Smile and remember cycling there yesterday: the ferry ride, the picnic you packed with goodies from Kensington Market, stretching out on the sandy beach and seeing that tall tower, knowing you’d be high in the sky today.

The T-Dot, or The Six as rapper Drake calls his home town of Toronto, comes alive at night. The clanging of the red-and-white “Rocket” street trolley as it shuttles the length of King Street is a siren sound to come and play through the glitzy entertainment district, the high fashion of Yonge Street, and with the hipsters of West Queen West.

Sip molecular gastronomy cocktails at Barchef, eat tacos at the latest hip Parkdale joint, or just see what adventures The Six will take you on tonight.

If it’s this cool on the outside, just think what it’s like on the inside. Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) – its answer to London’s Natural History Museum – received a spectacular makeover by architect Daniel Libeskind in 2007.

Other modern wonders in Toronto include Frank Gehry’s redesign of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), with its spiralling sculptural staircase.

Kayak down Ottawa’s Rideau canal (or skate down it in winter when it freezes over) to take in the sights. On 1 July each year, there’s no more Canadian place to be than here, among the thousands with maple leaf-painted faces as the sky lights up with fireworks to celebrate Canada Day.

Lose yourself in the Group of Seven’s work at the National Gallery of Canada followed by local wines and craft beers at the ByWard Market.

Walk in the footsteps of intrepid French explorers in Montréal’s Old Port and explore their history at the Pointe-à-Callière Museum. Make a relaxing voyage of your own at Bota-Bota, a Scandinavian-style boat-spa anchored on the quay. In winter, when the vast Saint Lawrence river slushes with ice, zip into a snow suit to dance outdoors in the harbour at the electro-music Igloofest.

Montréal is a modern city with deep roots into the past: discover the sunny pleasures of its summer patios when you explore its ancient cobbled streets as skyscrapers gleam above.
