Destinations are wide and varied, to make a travel to. The choice to be made is always yours and is quite an important one to be made.

Canada is indeed a good choice among the various enthralling locations all across the world. It is the world’s second largest nation and has several aspects to swank of. Situated in the continent of North America, Canada is one of the favorite tourist destinations.

The climate of Canada is one among the various attractive factors that make the nation a well sought after location to be frequented. It is an ever inviting criterion that acts as a boon for Canada.

Several major cities in the world are located in Canada. It is important to note that each of the cities have something very distinctive about it. The most important cities include Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal and so on.

Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It is the headquarters of all the major business activities happening all across the nation of Canada. Often referred to as “Silicon Valley North”, the city of Ottawa is well known for being the center of several telecommunications and technology firms of Canada. The Parliament Hill, the National War Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, The Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Rideau Hall form some of the major tourist lures of Ottawa.

Accredited to be the largest city in Canada, the city of Toronto is known as the major economic and cultural center of Canada. Aspects like multiculturalism, multilingualism, art forms, nightlife, festival, ethnic neighborhood and so on adds to the appeal of Toronto. Among the diverse attractions that Toronto has to offer are the Royal Ontario Museum, the CN Tower, Yorkville, Art Gallery of Ontario, the Bata Shoe Museum, the Eaton Centre, the Toronto Zoo and the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The west coast city of Vancouver has several visual treats to offer the tourists. The situation of city between ocean and mountains itself is an inviting factor. It is often regarded as the most beautiful city in Western Canada.

In the ‘70s Toronto faced extensive problems in communication thanks to the skyscrapers that were mushrooming throughout the city. These skyscrapers caused a lot of trouble in the reception and transmission of radio and television signals. The CN Tower was conceptualized for the purpose of solving this problem. It had to stand well above all the skyscrapers and it was to serve as the centre for telecommunications. Construction began in full swing, and after 40 months of grit, hard work, and planning, the CN Tower was completed in June of 1976

Today, of course, the CN Tower is a lot more than just a centre for communications. It has become a sort of an icon in Toronto, as more than 2 million tourists flock to it to marvel at this modern example of architecture and engineering.

What can you do here? Well, for one, there is the killer view of the entire city of Toronto. And this isn’t just any kind of view. A glass floor that spreads across 24 sq. meter, located 113 stories above the ground literally has Toronto lying at the tourists’ feet. Do you dare to walk on this floor?

It’s just 2 ½ inches of glass, but don’t let that fool you. This glass floor has the strength to accommodate the weight of 14 hippos, so we consider you fairly safe up there! Besides, if you are in Toronto, you just can’t miss the visual thrill of ‘walking-on-air’, or at least that’s the way it makes you feel. If you have the stomach to take in more, you can take a sky pod and go higher up the tower, to be exact, 33 stories higher, and see what the world looks like from there.

If all the thrill and rush of blood makes you hungry, you could head over to the revolving 360 Restaurant that is located in the tower. The combination of great food, served at dizzying heights is unbeatable, as is the breath taking view of Toronto’s harbor and skyline. You also have the world’s highest wine cellar here which has a premium selection of 550 Canadian and international wines.

A market place at the base of the tower has a fresh market café with the choicest of international foods and delicacies. If you’ve had enough of heights, you can come down here and enjoy some good food, and good old shopping.
