Get ready for your Canadian adventure
The picturesque Rocky Mountains and crystal clear lakes have crowned Canada as a nature lover’s paradise. Hikers and campers are spoiled for choice, as the country is home to some of the most stunning trails and wooded areas in North America. Adventure-seekers and snow bunnies will also feel at home at the Canadian slopes and wintery villages of Whistler and Banff.
Although, if you plan to explore the great Canadian outdoors, be careful of any wild moose you come across. They may not be aggressive animals, but if provoked, they can lift up to 700kg and chase unwanted strangers at 56mph. Don’t worry, this doesn’t apply to the human residents, as most Canadians do live up to their warm, welcoming and friendly stereotype.

Canadian dollars are also available to buy at one of our Bureau de Change, so you can buy them while shopping at John Lewis for your new winter coat or hiking boots.
