Canada's strength lies in its difference.

Those expecting Canada to be a blander version of the USA should check their assumptions at the door. Canada's wild northern frontier, which has etched itself into the national psyche, and its distinct patchwork of peoples have created a country that is decidedly different from its brash neighbour.

It's the edginess between Canada's indigenous, French and British traditions that gives the nation its complex three-dimensional character. Add to this a constant infusion of US culture and a plethora of traditions brought by migrants, and you have a thriving multicultural society.

Travellers to Canada can expect to find accommodation of all types, from upmarket hotels and resorts to more budget-focussed and unique options. For your next holiday accommodation in Canada, make sure you check the regular and special offers on hotels.com.au first. North America is host to a wide range of travel experience, suitable for all budgets. And Canada is a great example, blending city experiences such as Vancouver as well as options away from the hustle and bustle; perfect for a relaxing holiday or a nature escape.
