Ontario

Ontario, Canada's fourth largest province, covers a whopping 1 million square kilometres and within that vast area contains some truly world-class attractions.

It faces some stiff competition on the natural front, with the likes of Quebec and British Columbia on its doorstep, but it more than holds its own, boasting such wonders as Niagara Falls, perhaps the world's most famous waterfall, and Pukaskwa National Park, a veritable wilderness in which wolves, moose and bears roam free.

However, Ontario's real heart and soul can be found in its magnificent cities. Take Toronto, for example: it's the largest metropolis in Canada (and arguably the best looking) and is a multicultural oasis, proffering a bewildering abundance of arts, incredible restaurants and uber-cool nightlife. And then there's Ottawa, the capital of Canada, which is fast emerging as one of the hippest cities on the planet.
