One is wild and primal, filled with beauty and natural wonders waiting to be explored and the other one is romantic and set apart from the rest of Canada by its rich culture and elegant atmosphere. Today we at Royal Holiday Destinations, invite you to pack your bags and head up north, to visit our friendly neighbor Canada and fall in love with this magical land filled with wonder and breathtaking beauty
British Columbia
British Columbia is the westernmost province of Canada, located between the Rocky Mountain and the Pacific Ocean. Its strategic location gives British Columbia a mix of cold, mildly rainy weather but with warm summers and interior semi-arid climate. While dominated with nature and pristine land, British Columbia has much more to offer visitors. Its cities are booming with activity and are extremely influential in the region; the cuisine is as diverse as its people who share cultures from every corner of the planet. No matter where you go and what you do, BC will surprise you and you will have to admit that your expectations fell short of this amazing place.
Things to do.
If you like the outdoors, British Columbia has you covered with so much nature to explore and several national parks and reserves where you can find landscapes unmatched by anything you have experienced before. If you want to see more then you have to visit the many parks, museums and cultural centers the region has to offer. Vancouver is British Columbia’s most populous city with a population of over two and a half million inhabitants and it offers a wide variety of activities to engage on. The cultural diversity and wide differences between neighborhoods will make you want to stay. Explore the many restaurants, shops, breweries and art galleries. Perhaps you will want to leave so easily once you discover this beautiful northern gem. The beautiful snowcapped mountains reflecting on the sea makes you feel the city is trapped between two of the most amazing vistas you can ever experience together. This is truly a land for those who want to slow down and enjoy living to the fullest.
The Westin Resort & Spa Whistler
Just north of Vancouver lies hidden away amongst idyllic landscapes and lush greenery, the Westin Resort & Spa. This condo-style resort is the perfect getaway for those looking to disconnect without sacrificing luxury and comfort. If you enjoy winter sports, then you have come to the perfect place as Whistler is considered one of the best spots in Canada for ski enthusiasts. In the summer, enjoy the golf courses and the easy routes for trekking and admiring nature.

Québec
After Ontario, Québec is Canada’s second most populous province with almost eight million people calling it home. Montreal and Québec City are the most important urban centers of the region and where more than half of the total population lives. Québec is vast in land, with a territory three times the size of Texas; this means a great variety of landscapes, geological conditions and different terrain and weather. The climate ranges from humid continental to hot summers and very cold winters. This variety of weather makes Québec the perfect destination to visit all year round, great for all kinds of activities indoor and outdoor alike.
Things to do.
Québec is described by some as a completely different country within the country of Canada. This is mostly due to all its traditional charm of a land that sometimes seems forgotten by time and filled with nostalgic beauty. The language is one of the most particular things about Québec, a characteristic that truly sets the place apart from the rest of North America. As we mentioned before, Québec City and Montreal are the main cities found in this region, so this are the places where most activity goes on. Both city centers are filled with culture, sophistication and life is lived at a faster pace, but without forgetting the rustic playfulness that identifies the region. Montreal is a city of beautiful design and filled with art in every corner, its festivals and cuisine make it famous worldwide and Québec City is considered the soul of French Canadian identity.
