Nestled in an idyllic setting between the Pacific Ocean and the Coastal Mountain range, the green and leafy city of Vancouver deserves its accolade as the best place in the world to live. Countless visitors love it so much that they move here for good – and you might be tempted to stay yourself. Vancouver has a golden reputation for friendly locals, clean public areas and safe streets, which all add up to a very warm welcome. Diverse and multicultural, it caters well for all visitors from families with little ones to groups of friends to LGBT travellers.
The biggest city in British Columbia is the perfect choice for a city break with a twist. Glamorous city chic meets outdoor adventure in this active centre. Spend your days sailing on the Strait of Georgia, shopping on Robson Street, hiking Cypress Mountain, cycling the seawall, exploring Granville Market, indulging in Chinatown... the list of things to do and see is endless. It's also a gateway city with easy access to the Rockies, Vancouver Island and BC’s other vibrant cities. With its Rocky Mountaineer train terminal and Alaska cruise port, it’s the best start or end to your trip.
Vancouver has three faces. To really understand the city, you must embrace them all.
