Vancouver Vacations, Vancouver Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

2 million + people, the ocean to the west and the Cascades to the north (which conveniently can always be used for orientation). Because half the streets are numbered and the other half refer to trees or provinces, it's really easy to get your bearings here. It is also easy to get around as there is well functioning public transport, one can also skate, bike or walk along the sea wall and around the city centre. It's a pleasure!

Vancouverites are fiercely loyal of their city, often defending it to Torontonians! Vancouver has much to offer: outdoor sports galore, beautiful scenery, world class installations and more than one university... The rainy weather is just part of the charm. Vancouver's Stanley Park is a vast natural area, and is an escape for city residents, either by hiring roller skates or bikes to explore it or wander in to Vancouver Aquarium which is situated in the park.

Home to the 2010 Winter Olympics, the organizing committee is busy moving mountains so that the roads to the slopes will be world class. Wonderful information regarding the Olympics is, that between Vancouver and Whistler, its close proximity of mountains is great for Olympians, and those attending the Olympics, since depending on the Athletic event, the medalists will have ceremonies at whichever mountain their competition is at.
