On British Columbia's West Coast, this beautiful, cosmopolitan city is set against a backdrop of mountains and rain forests on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. And, the mild climate of Vancouver makes this a great city vacation for any time of the year.

On top of natural beauty, the city offers a wealth of outdoor activities, historic attractions and great shopping. Parks, shopping, museums, art galleries and easy access to wonderful attractions, resorts and adventures make this a popular destination for all visitors to Western Canada. Visitors can explore many of the highlights, including the 1,000 acre Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, the Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver Aquarium, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Grouse Mountain, English Bay, Gastown, Yaletown, Granville Island and bustling Robson Street, home to designer boutiques, bistros and restaurants.

Vancouver is a melting pot of cultures that began coming together just over 100 years ago. Today, this cultural mosaic adds an international flavor to Vancouver, offering up a wealth of gastronomic delights. You can find almost every ethnic cuisine in the city as well as award-winning gourmet restaurants, many featuring fresh seafood.

Vancouver is one award-winning city. "Condé Nast Traveler" magazine voted it a "Best City in the Americas", and the Economic Intelligence Unit (which ranks cities based on the level of hardship they pose to expatriates) calls it the best place in the world to live (tied with Melbourne, Australia). Vancouver has also been named by worldwide publications as the best place to shoot a movie, have a bachelor party, enjoy a winter holiday (or a summer vacation!), and go scuba diving. Mercer Human Resource Consulting rated Vancouver second in the world for quality of life. There's more, but we think you've got the picture!
