Canada: lakeside haven for all seasons

“WE have enjoyed Mountain View Bed & Breakfast in Ontario, which offers vacation home rentals as well as rooms with a bath. It faces Rock Candy Mountain and overlooks Cumming Lake.

“The area offers hiking, biking, bird and wildlife watching, swimming, horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, snowshoeing and cross-country ski trails. We have enjoyed all seasons and consider it a perfect year-round retreat.”

Doubles from $72.

Czech Republic: Secrets in store

“WHEN in Prague, check out the top floor of the Kotva department store on Republic Square for coffee, snacks and a great view. A grocery store is hidden in the Kotva basement with an outside entrance that looks like it leads to a subway.”

Kotva department store, 8 Namesti Republiky, Prague.
