Yellowknife (NW Territories)
The Northwest Territories in Canada are known for diamonds, the gold rush and for being very, very cold. But, Yellowknife is also known for its delicious food, beautiful attractions, and of course, being one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. Regardless of what time of year you visit, there`s always something happening in Yellowknife. From a weekend music festival in the sand to a month of festivities inside a snow castle on the frozen bay, the capital of the Northwest Territories is a vibrant and cosmopolitan northern city. The bustling streets are filled with trendy shops and public art, but take a few steps out of town and you`re surrounded by untouched northern wilderness.
