Montreal is commonly referred to as the Paris of North America. It is definitely fitting – not just for the obvious comparison to the French-speaking residents – but also for culinary, historical, cultural, aesthetic, romantic and trend-setting reasons.

Montreal is a delight, loaded with sensational diversions for the most discerning tastes. The remarkable spectacle that is the Cirque du Soleil – troupes of fearless performers, high-flying acrobats and stunning dancers – has roots firmly planted in Montreal. The Cirque has been amazing and electrifying spectators around the world with jaw-dropping shows for over a quarter of a century. Montreal's Jazz Fest, which hits the streets and concert halls each summer, brings out music aficionados who flock to this annual event to listen not only to jazz, but also a lineup of other musical influences. A whopping 3,000 artists come from at least 30 other countries around the world!

For two weeks each July, many of the world's funniest people assemble for Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival and treat jubilant audiences to uproarious stand-up comedy. Each with their own special brand of wit and humour, their monologues, one-liners and tales of life as they see it are just some of the fun that can be expected at any Just for Laughs venue around the city.

With a Montreal Museums Pass, get access to 33 of Montreal's museums – most notably, Canada's premier contemporary art museum, Musée d'art contemporain – in addition to a Montreal transit card for unlimited use of the bus and métro system.

Montreal's nightlife is vibrant and dynamic with clubs, pubs, concerts and parties that embrace chic or shabby, conservative or alternative, laid-back or lively. As home to the National Hockey League's legendary Montréal Canadiens and the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, there's no shortage of sports fervour to get caught up in – hockey and football fans in Montreal are extremely devoted to their teams, so the best way to make friends for life is to pick up a jersey and join the crowd!

Located north of Montreal is the Laurentian Mountain Region – a vast area for hiking, canoeing, cycling, skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. Visitors come to experience winter and summer at its best at Mont-Tremblant, Mont Saint-Sauveur, Morin-Heights and more! With breathtaking mountain conditions, picturesque villages, the Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant and the best public golf course in Quebec, it's a spectacular place to play and to relax.

Not limited to haute cuisine, though Montreal has abundant 5-star fare on offer, local delicacies are among the most unique and delicious among all Canadian cities. What could be better than the perfect crispy-on-the-outside and chewy-on-the-inside Montreal-style bagel or a steaming plate of French fries with rich gravy and cheese curds that is the regional treat called poutine? And no one should miss out on trying Schwartz's – the famous deli where the smoked meat recipe is impossible to replicate and even harder to resist.

To satisfy a sweet tooth, a visit to the authentic Sucrerie de la Montagne atop Mont Rigaud, less than an hour from Montreal is a must. This popular sugar shack includes traditional and rustic accommodations, food and entertainment and, best of all, the chance to sample hot maple taffy served on a bed of fresh snow and scooped up with wooden sticks!

Vancouver is one of the largest cities in Canada, with such a vibrant culture that there is no shortage of things to do in this urban paradise. Vancouver has the lucky position of being in one of the most beautiful and diverse locations in Canada, if not the world.

Recently, best known as the host city for the 2010 XXI Winter Olympics, Vancouver unquestionably put on an impressive display of sporting competition, international unity and friendly hospitality, not to mention a kick-up-your-heels party like no other. Incredible sporting achievements, celebrations, concerts and unforgettable people provided 17 days of excitement and fun!

Whistler Mountain is best known as having the greatest vertical-rise skiing in North America, and the resort at Whistler/Blackcomb was made doubly famous during the Olympic games as many of the skiing, snowboarding and luge/bobsleigh events were held in this picturesque mountain village.

Kids of all ages find discoveries at attractions such as Science World and CN IMAX Theatre, meandering walks on the beaches bordering English Bay or along the sea wall to the world famous Stanley Park. The Vancouver Aquarium & Marine Science Centre offers a journey to witness creatures of the deep or explore dizzying heights at one of the country's highest suspension bridges across a scenic river valley at Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park. The gondola at Grouse Mountain provides a spectacular view of this stunning city.

Vancouver has one of the best transit systems in Canada, as well as thoughtfully planned cycling paths throughout most of the city - renting or borrowing a bike is a fun and effective way to see the sights. However, walking in Vancouver is probably one of the most pleasurable ways to get around as there are so many things to see all within walking distance of one another. From the Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden to the Vancouver Art Gallery, heritage sites including Gastown and Chinatown to Granville Island Public Market and the five sails at Canada Place. A lively city filled with world-class restaurants, vibrant nightlife, shopping in exclusive boutiques or indulgence galore at the 470-store Metrotown as well as the Vancouver Symphony and Ballet BC.

Vancouver offers a diverse choice of golf courses throughout the Lower Mainland. Both public and private courses - there's somewhere for every skill level and for every price range. Lush greens and meandering fairwarys set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, unspoiled sandy beaches, rugged West Coast Mountains, wide open spaces or majestic rainforest; sometimes even all on one course!
