From the polar ice cap to the mountains, fjords, and rain forests of
the west coast, Canada offers a remarkable range of scenic wonders.
Among the most spectacular parks are the Kluane National Park in the
Yukon Territory and the Banff (with Lake Louise) and Jasper national
parks in the mountains of Alberta. Norse artifacts and reconstructed
dwellings can be viewed at the excavation of L'Anse aux Meadows in
Newfoundland.
Other attractions include Dinosaur Park in Alberta's Red Deer
Badlands; the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia; and the Laurentians and
the Gaspé Peninsula in Québec. The arts and crafts of the Dene
Indians and the Inuit may be seven in cooperative workshops in the
Northwest Territories.
Québec City is the only walled city in North America.
Montréal, the second-largest French-speaking city in the world
(after Paris), is famous for its fine French cuisine, its vast
underground shopping network, and its excellent subway system.
Toronto is known for commerce, culture, modern architecture, and an
outstanding zoo. One of the world's foremost summer theatrical
events is the Shakespeare Festival at Stratford, Ontario.

Fishing and hunting attract many outdoor enthusiasts
to Canada, and ice hockey attracts many sports fans, particularly to
the Forum in Montreal. Major league baseball teams play in Montreal
and Toronto. In 1992, the Toronto major league baseball team, the
Blue Jays, became the first non-American team to both play in and
win the World Series.
In 1998, Canada was the third most popular tourist
destination in the Americas after the United States and Mexico. In
2000, more than 19.6 million tourists arrived from abroad, 15.2
million of them from the United States. As of 1998, there were
330,003 hotel rooms in Canada with an occupancy rate of 64%.
