Introducing Ontario: your complete guide to visiting Canada’s most diverse destination

Destination Ontario

Ontario is as diverse as it is delightful to experience. Spanning over 415,000 square miles and serving as the home for over a third of the country’s population, this Canadian province is the birthplace of world-class icons such as the cities of Toronto and Ottawa and natural legends such as the Great Lakes, Niagara Falls and over 300 provincial parks. It’s big and popular and yet those vast stretches of land somehow feel like they’re yours to discover.

As the second largest province in Canada, stretching from the expansive Hudson Bay in the north right down to the US border in the south, there’s plenty to pay attention to. Toronto and Ottawa serve as the main transport hubs, though other airports across the region are connected by transfers out of these two international gateways. The open roads also make it prime road-trip territory, so however you make your way here the great outdoors beckons you to venture further and discover the stretching swathe of experiences. And with only a five-hour time difference from the UK, it’s easy and accessible even if the landscape makes you feel a million miles away. Visitors to the region can be sure they’ll find something to please them, to spark their curiosity and to inspire them to discover more.
