Traveling To Canada - The Best of Both Worlds in Vancouver,
British Columbia
Are you torn between
taking a luxurious, pampered holiday versus an outdoor,
sporty vacation? If you and your holiday partner can't
agree (or even if you're not sure yourself) there's
no need to compromise when you visit the city of Vancouver
in British Columbia, Canada.
An Urban Oasis - Stanley Park
Vancouver is one of the few cities (including
New York with the famous Central Park) that can boast
a sizable park as one of its features. Stanley Park
is 1000 acres and is one of the largest urban parks
in North America.
Vancouver is a coastal city with plenty
of walking and biking trails. There's something for
everyone, whether you enjoy an easy pace viewing the
waters of the Burrard Inlet along the paved sea wall
or take on the wooded trails of Stanley Park where you'll
find impressive untouched forest as well as beautifully
manicured gardens on your hiking or biking adventure.
Art Galleries, Shopping and More...
Looking to enjoy some shopping? Vancouver
has plenty of interesting areas to shop. For the dedicated
shopper a visit to Robson Street will provide designer
boutiques as well as trendy coffee shops and restaurants,
all with great people watching spots to take a break.
For those who are looking for something
a little different than the usual step into Vancouver's
Chinatown. You'll find beautiful imported items along
with delicious Chinese cuisine along the streets with
the red streetlamps and brightly colored signs.
Granville Island, which is also the
home to the Emily Carr Institute of Art, is a busy market
along the water. Find fresh fruit, flowers and a wide
variety of ethnic foods to enjoy. Browse the art and
small specialty shops where you're sure to find that
special something to bring home for yourself or as a
gift.
The Vancouver Art Gallery in the heart
of the city also has something for the art enthusiast
to enjoy, including presentations of the famous works
of Vancouver's Emily Carr.
Science World, Vancouver Aquarium -
big draws for Young or Old.
Bringing the kids? The mirrored dome
with lights will surely catch their attention but what's
inside this fascinating structure will impress them
(and you) even more! Interactive and astounding you'll
be entertained and educated in this attraction originally
built for Expo 86.
For a slower pace try the Vancouver
Aquarium. Watch the Beluga show or visit the tropics
for a memorable visit.
World Class Resorts, Hotels and Golf
Courses
Not far from Vancouver is the world
renowned Whistler Village Resort. Ideal for a luxury
skiing vacation, it is also a popular summer destination
with biking trails, golfing, white water rafting, ziplining
and more for the truly adventurous.
Camping and RV parks are never far away
or you can choose to stay in one of the highly rated
hotels for a real pampered treat!
Vancouver is a culturally diverse city
with many languages and ethnic attractions. Although
well known for rain, Vancouver's mild climate is ideal
for the many gardens and parks that make up the city.
Full of complimentary opposites, Vancouver is a harmonious
blend for enjoying the outdoors and city life in one
place.
