Whitehorse and Dawson City Multi Centre Holiday

Whitehorse is a fascinating, historic city that provides a gateway to northern Canada’s wilderness. It’s home to all of the modern amenities you’ll need for a comfortable stay, while being within easy reach of snowy landscapes in the winter and spectacular forests in the summer. It’s also a fantastic base for those wanting to see the Northern Lights – a once in a lifetime experience.

There’s so much to be explored in the city itself. There’s a thriving local arts scene, as well as rich culture and cosmopolitan feel in the restaurants, bars and cafés. Try traditional Canadian dishes, or simply sit back and watch the world go by as you soak up the atmosphere. There’s plenty of shopping too, including local handicrafts and designer shops. Galleries and museums are perfect for those wanting to learn a bit more about the city’s history and immerse themselves in its culture.

Dawson City is a cultural centre, ideal for those wanting to learn about Canada’s famous Gold Rush period. It’s home to the fake fronted houses and boardwalks that will take you straight back to this fascinating time in history, as well as plenty of modern amenities. The city is nestled on the bank of the Yukon River, and surrounded by mountains and emerald forests which are perfect for explorers.

Miners, artists and those seeking adventure all share Dawson City, which gives it a unique and eclectic atmosphere. To see some of the modern culture, visit the Klondike Institute of Arts and Culture or the Yukon School of Visual Arts. Or visit the Dänojà Zho Cultural Centre for a sense of its history.

When it comes to activities, there’s so much on offer here. Cruise down the river and take in the landscapes or visit in the summer months to see the Northern Lights, and the “midnight sun”. The autumn foliage is spectacular, while the winter brings ice skating, skiing, dog sledding and lots more.
