Vancouver has won many accolades as one
of the top cities in the Americas, and for very
good reasons. Set against a backdrop of
majestic snow-capped mountains, the city lies
on a peninsula that juts into the Pacific
Ocean. This spectacular setting allows for a
plethora of outdoor adventures, including
skiing, sailing, hiking, scuba diving, fishing
and more.
Explore cosmopolitan Vancouver’s diverse
neighborhoods, ranging from trendy Yaletown
to dynamic Gastown to Granville Island with
its outdoor food market, where more than 50 permanent vendors vie for
your attention with such treats as sourdough baguettes, homemade goat
cheese, spicy sausages and crisp apples. If you’re in the mood for fine
dining, indulge in fresh regional seafood, a Vancouver specialty, at one of
the city’s first-rate restaurants.
Must-sees include Stanley Park and Grouse Mountain. Stanley Park is a
veritable oasis with its beaches, gardens, woodlands, and splendid views
of the waterfront, while the view from a gondola atop Grouse Mountain
will leave you breathless. For a memento of your trip, shop for some
original First Nations art at local galleries. With all that Vancouver has to
offer, your most difficult task will be choosing what to do during your visit.
But remember, you can always come back.
