Apresentação geral
Churchill
Hudson Bay Subarctic Harbour known for polar bears, belugas, tundra and northern aurora.
To understand what Churchill is, you have to look at Prince of Wales Fort, Itsanitaq Museum and Cape Merry. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Ver tudo
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Uma seleção para começar a sonhar e organizar a estadia — não uma lista exaustiva de tudo o que há para ver.
Culture and heritage
Prince of Wales Fort
This imposing stone fortress stands alone on the opposite bank of the river Churchill, facing Hudson Bay. The guided boat crossing leads into its massive ramparts and places the fur trade in a fully open tundra landscape.
Culture and heritage
Itsanitaq Museum
The Itsanitaq Museum brings together Inuit sculptures, hunting tools and archaeological objects from several arctic regions. This intimate collection helps to understand the cultures that shaped Hudson Bay well before the arrival of European counters.
Must-see place
Cape Merry
Cape Merry is a rocky promontory located at the mouth of the river Churchill, with views of Fort Prince of Wales and Hudson Bay. Its short trails allow to observe birds, belugas and sometimes aurora, while remaining close to the city.
Nature and scenery
Wapusk National Park
Wapusk protects a huge transition between tundra and Hudson Bay, where polar bears establish dens. Its very framed access turns any visit into a guided expedition and reminds us that wildlife here imposes its own rules.
