Thinking about the biggest countries of the world, people often does not regard them are usual travel destinations, rather choosing smaller regions or even cities by themselves to call them destinations. Such is the case of Canada, an otherwise magnificent place, but rather overlooked by many travelers that usually associate it with cold weather and snow. The truth is that only the northern side of Canada is covered by ice and snow for a grand majority of the year, but still it represents an enchanting place to experience.
The second largest country in the world after Russia is truly overwhelming for tourists, just thinking about how many beautiful places and attractions it has. Truth is that most of them choose to visit the most southern cities, close to the American border, but the wild landscapes of Canada are truly outstanding. Apart from the cities and the wilderness, Canada is also a culturally rich destination, with a charming European heritage, many festivals, great cuisine and so on.
Although having a very small population compared to its size, Canada is one of the most respected countries, mainly for its sprawling economy, quality of life, level of freedom and many other features.
