Vancouver in Review
Situated in south-western Canada, the coastal city and major seaport of Vancouver offers everything and more to guarantee you a wonderful and diverse holiday. Surrounded by idyllic beaches where you can just lay back and relax, inhale the clean air and the magnificent environment, Vancouver has a wide range of natural and cultural attractions to choose from.
A fantastic way to see the city is to book a sightseeing flight aboard a float plane or helicopter and circle the city skyline and Coast Mountain Range. If you prefer to walk, Stanley Park has fine hiking trials, scenic lakes and splendid gardens and is home to the Vancouver Aquarium with over 70,000 animals including beluga whales, Steller sea lions, dolphins, seals and more. Hikers will feel at home on Burnaby Mountain and Grouse Mountain in the north. Joggers, bikers and roller bladers will feel at home about everywhere.
Cultural attractions include the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Vancouver Maritime Museum where you can get an insight of the maritime history and trade of the Pacific Coast. Overlooking spectacular English Bay, the Vancouver Museum holds an eclectic collection of the city’s rich cultural heritage and is absolutely worth a visit. Families with kids will enjoy Science World and the H.R. MacMillan Space Center where the wonders of space provide great fun for young and old.
If outdoor excitement, relaxing beaches, cultural activities and delicious seafood is what you need, Vancouver is your ideal destination.
