UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Canada has 18 sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Quite logically, apart from Old Quebec and one or two other places, these are all natural spaces spread across the Canadian territory. Among the most well-known or remarkable listed sites are the stunning Canadian Rockies Parks (seven combined parks and reserves), the Waterton-Glacier straddling Alberta and the USA (Montana), and Wood Buffalo National Park, which is the second largest in the world.
By Region
Each region of Canada is rich in sites and other places to discover:
- What to See in British Columbia: first and foremost, the capital Victoria, Vancouver and its namesake island, the Sunshine Coast shoreline, the parks of the Canadian Rockies, those of the glaciers and Mount Robson, or the Sea-to-Sky Corridor.
- What to See in Northern Canada: including Dawson City and Whitehorse, Nahanni, Kluane, Auyuittuq, and Wood Buffalo National Parks, plus the Alaska Highway.
- What to See in Ontario: the urban areas of Ottawa and Toronto, the Thousand Islands archipelago, Lake Superior, Sandbanks Provincial Park, and of course Niagara Falls for the essentials.
