Welcome to Vancouver, BC!


It's one of the most remarkable cities you'll ever visit. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada sits at  the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Nestled snugly in and around the slopes of snow-capped Coast Mountains. Where your need for the city is satisfied. Your yearning for nature is indulged.

Spring ski on one of three local mountains in the morning. Or walk on one of 16 beaches. Sail in the afternoon. Or stroll part of the 1000-acre Stanley Park downtown. In the evening, stroll Robson Street or visit the bistros on Granville Island. Tour the Vancouver Aquarium, Marine Science Centre, Maritime Museum, Science World,Vancouver Art Gallery.

Spring is the perfect time to catch a show at one f many live theatres, a symphony at the Orpheum, the opera at Queen Elizabeth Theatre and hockey or basketball at General Motors Place. Treat your taste buds in our outdoor cafés, European-style bistros and four-star restaurants.

While you won't run out of things to do, Vancouver's also the ideal retreat to do absolutely nothing at all. Truly the best of both worlds!
