Canada is vast, spanning close to 4 million square miles, and with a population of around 38 million it is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. The sheer scale makes it difficult to decide where to go.

Do you visit the dynamic metropolis of Toronto with its soaring skyscrapers, or the multicultural bustling seaport of Vancouver, with its thriving art and music scene? Do you head to the beautiful Maligne Canyon, a 164-foot deep gorge of sheer limestone walls, waterfalls, and rock formations in Jasper National Park, or Niagara Falls, one of the most impressive natural wonders in the world with its tumultuous waters? Why not take advantage of Great Rail Journeys' expertise and experience and leave the details to us? We know all the best routes to take, the friendliest hotels to stay in, and the most interesting sights to visit.

Ride along heritage routes in world-famous trains, such as the Rocky Mountaineer, The Canadian, and The Ocean, and visit the ice-covered prairies of Vancouver in winter. Rare wildlife, imposing peaks, sprawling forests; Canada is one of the most stunningly beautiful countries on Earth, offering visitors a uniquely visual experience.

Canada's enigmatic charm lies in its huge swathes of dense forests and tundra that remain snow-covered almost all year round. Towering mountains, lakes with emerald and sapphire hues, diverse wildlife, and mega cities all come together to make Canada an absolute delight.
