If a beautiful diamond is still a girl’s best friend, then a trip to North America’s diamond capital is a must. Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories, is known as North America’s diamond capital and a profitable mining city. There are plenty of other glitzy stuff to do in Yellowknife that will pique your interest!
It’s known as the “Land of the Midnight Sun” and North America’s Aurora Capital. Both are spectacular sights to see at different times of the year.
The former occurs in the summer as the Great White North receives 24 hours of daylight, while the latter is a natural celestial phenomenon of luminescent colors known as the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, which paints the night sky and is best seen in the winter.
Don’t think the good times end at night. Yellowknife transforms into a bustling metropolis during the day. At favorite hangouts, locals and tourists mix and mingle. Original productions are showcased in the most elegant venues, and trekkers in search of adventure are eager to leave this former outpost for the farthest reaches of the globe.
