In order to view this page you need Flash Player 9+ support!
Manitoba is the sixth-largest province in Canada at 649,950 square kms (250,947 square miles) or about double the size of Germany, with Winnipeg its dynamic main city. The south-western portion of Manitoba is prairie, with farmland and flat, open fields as far as the eye can see. The most northern area of Manitoba features an expanse of tundra, also relatively flat, while the rest of the province is dominated by the Canadian Shield, a rocky, tree-rich show of geography with breathtaking lakes, hills and cliffs.
Manitoba’s key attraction is the wildlife, including beluga whales - which you can paddle alongside in a canoe - and the majestic polar bear. From Winnipeg where you an take a train or fly to Churchill, the starting point for many of these natural attractions.
