Canada is an amazing country. Its natural beauty, historical buildings, diversity and culture can cast a spell on travellers. Each city has its own unique charm and attraction that is hard to resist. And the friendliness of the people just adds to the enjoyment. While all of Canada is interesting and has something to offer to everyone, there are some cities that reflect the diversity of the country very aptly.

Toronto

This, perhaps, is the most well-known city in Canada due to the Toronto International Film Festival, leading sports franchises, such as the Raptors, Blue Jays and Toronto Maple Leafs and the world famous CN Tower, which stands at 1,815 feet. The observation deck of the tower offers a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding areas.

The city is home to the Eaton Centre, which is a friendly and bright shopping mall. Be sure to carry your credit card, as the mall has over 250 stores where you can get great bargains as well as high-end items. However, after shopping, do spend some time checking out the architecture and the imposing Canadian geese mobile called Flight Stop. This was designed by an artiste called Michael Snow.

Travellers interested in architecture and history will enjoy visiting Casa Loma, which was constructed in the early 1900s by Sir Henry Pellart, a Toronto-based businessman. Casa Loma overlooks the city and has many modern-day conveniences, including an elevator.

Vancouver


This city is famous for its spectacular natural beauty. Its laidback charm, oceanfront and mountains make it one of the most visited Canadian cities. It is also a popular ski destination, as people come to slalom down the Whistler.

Vancouver is also home to Stanley Park, which is spread across 1,000 acres. Located in the heart of the city, it offers
a way to get away from the city life and enjoy indoor and outdoor activities. Here, you will be able to enjoy the numerous recreational facilities that the Park boasts of, including a Vancouver Aquarium and a petting farm.

One of the places to use your credit card is Robson Street. It is the perfect place to shop for souvenirs and gift, and from there you can head to the Vancouver Art Gallery to see historic and contemporary Canadian as well as international art.

Montreal


Although English and French influences are dominant in Montreal, it is an international city filled with joie de vivre and energy. This Canadian city is the perfect place to enjoy some delicious French cuisine. Old Montreal is where you can find architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries. It has many attractions, such as Notre Dame Basilica, Point Calliere Museum, fine dining restaurants and boutiques and shops to please any kind of shopper.

However, the best use of a credit card would be at the Underground City, which is a sheltered complex spread across more than 12 kilometres. Antique and art lovers will surely enjoy shopping at the Sherbrooke Street, which is parallel to St. Catherine.

Another attraction in the city is the Biodome, which has 4 ecosystems, namely Gulf of St. Lawrence, tropical rainforest, Laurentian maple forest, and the sub-polar regions. Every ecosystem offers an authentic experience of the climate, wildlife and vegetation.  So there you have it, these are the greatest cities for you to see in Canada, but when booking your ticket you can do so with an Aeroplan Card from American Express and collect great credit card rewards such as Aeroplan miles.
