Beyond the highlights
The pages most visitors miss: small cities, regional dishes, festivals and obsessions from the full guide.
Tourtière
Tourtière is the French-Canadian meat pie, and it belongs to Christmas.
Butter Tarts
Butter tarts are Ontario's signature sweet: a small flaky pastry shell filled with a gooey mixture of butter, sugar and egg.
Victoria
Victoria is British Columbia's capital: a garden city on Vancouver Island's southern tip, all hanging baskets, afternoon tea and the grand Empress Hotel on the Inner Harbour.
Halifax
Halifax is Atlantic Canada's capital: a working naval port with a famous waterfront boardwalk, the star-shaped Citadel on the hill, and more pubs per capita than almost anywhere in Canada.
Carnaval de Québec
The Quebec Winter Carnival has run since 1955 (with roots back to 1894): two-plus weeks of winter embraced rather than endured.
Northern Lights
The aurora borealis arcs over Canada's north from late August to April.
