Yellowknife
Gateway to Canada’s vast, frozen Northwest Territories, the city of Yellowknife is lively and colourful, situated on the north shore of Great Slave Lake, its foundations firmly implanted in the eternal ice that coats this northern Arctic province. The atmosphere, especially in the pretty Old Town, is warm, however, delighting those who holiday in Yellowknifemore even in winter, when the sun never quite rises and the Northern Lights illuminate the old buildings and cosy cafes.
