Vancouver,
Canada
Vancouver is a bustling city of
great beauty & diversity. The subtropical
climate draws millions of tourists every year, many of whom chose
to stay and make it a home! From the downtown core you are only
minutes from the beaches of the pacific ocean & only 1.5 hrs
from Whistler
and the rocky mountains! Luxury Hotels abundant in the downtown
area as well as in Kitsilano & Broadway.
Shopping in the downtown area around
Burrard St. is unparalleled in Western
Canada. You'll find haute couture designer
boutiques, trendy restaurants,
along with almost every imported product you could imagine and some
you couldn't have! The Chinatown market and the
excellent antique stores throughout the city should
not be missed.
Dining in Vancouver is a life
altering experience! The multicultural setting has blessed
Vancouverites with the finest cuisines from around the globe. Many
contend that in Vancouver you can find better indian, japanese,
ethiopian, afghani, and chinese food than in their respective countries
of origin.
Most of the larger hotels in the
downtown area are superbly located to enjoy the
sites of the city. Be sure to visit historic Gas Town,
the evergrowing Chinatown, Commercial Drive
& the beautiful green spaces and botanical gardens at the University
of British Columbia.
Vancouver's 1.9 million residents
exploit their spectacular natural setting to the hilt, and when
they tire of the immediate region can travel a short distance to
the unimaginably vast wilderness of the BC interior. Whether it's
sailing, swimming, fishing, hiking, skiing, golf or tennis,
locals barely have to move to indulge in a plethora of recreational
whims.
"Vancouver is not
a city which offers or requires lots of relentless sightseeing.
Its breathtaking physical beauty makes it a place where often
it's enough just to wander and watch the world go by..."
Summer and winter the city oozes
hedonism and healthy living - it comes as no surprise to find that
you can lounge on beaches downtown - typically West Coast obsessions
that spill over into its sophisticated arts and culture . Vancouver
claims a world-class museum and symphony orchestra, as well as opera,
theatre and dance companies at the cutting edge of contemporary
arts. Festivals proliferate throughout its mild,
if occasionally rain-soaked, summer and numerous music venues provide
a hotbed for up-and-coming rock bands and a burgeoning jazz
scene.
