Ontario Travel Guide |
Come to Ontario and discover a place so diverse that all
your travel wishes can be fulfilled. Ontario is Canada’s
second largest province and is bordered by Quebec to the
east, Manitoba to the west and by the Great Lakes in the
south and the Hudson Bay and James Bay in the north.
Ontario is home to the nation’s capitol,
Ottawa, where thousands
travel to visit Parliament Hill each day, as well as
Toronto, Canada’s largest
city. In Toronto you can witness the world’s tallest
freestanding building – the
CN Tower. Ontario’s
cosmopolitan cities present
world-class entertainment, attractions, shopping and dining,
and its
charming small towns offer
farmers’ markets,
theatre,
wine touring,
festivals,
historic museums, and so
much more … including a wealth of local colour.
The name Ontario appropriately stems from the aboriginal
words ‘onitariio’, meaning ‘beautiful lake’, and ‘kanadario’,
which translates to ‘sparkling’ or ‘beautiful’ water, as the
province holds the shimmering waters of more than 250,000
lakes and 100,000 km (60,000 mi.) of rivers. In Ontario you
will also experience vast tracts of towering forests, long
sandy beaches and the natural wonder of
Niagara Falls. Ontario
boasts superior
land,
water and
aerial adventures including
paddling, hiking, cruising, biking, rafting, skiing,
sledding and a place where the
fishing season lasts
year-round.
At the end of a fun-filled day, stay at one of our inviting
accommodations, that range
from hotels and resorts, to quaint country inns and B&Bs, to
rustic cottages, tipi tenting, or simply camp under the
stars. Wherever you go and whatever you do, there’s always
More to Discover in Ontario.
