Ski or snowboard in the morning, play golf or go kayaking in the afternoon – Vancouver’s location between the Pacific and the Rocky Mountains makes all this possible, and more, and also ensures that the city regularly features among the most liveable cities in the world.

With Mother Nature on front and back doorsteps it’s no wonder Vancouver abounds with outdoor activities from sailing to hiking the Grouse Grind mountain trail just 20 minutes from the city (or taking the easy way on the aerial tram!) But, as British Columbia’s largest city, Vancouver is also a sophisticated centre of arts, shopping and entertainment.

Explore farmers’ markets, exotic Chinatown with its apothecary shops, or spot the stars and smell the coffee on trendy Robson Street. Drink in the views from Stanley Park but don’t miss the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, one of North America’s five largest aquariums.

 Insider Insights

"Try the '100 Mile Tasting Menu' at The Raincity Grill. Three courses composed entirely of ingredients sourced from within 100 miles of the restaurant and inspired by local farmers."
Wendy Meyer

"Hit the Roxy on Granville Street for live bands and music. If you want to get in without waiting in a huge, long lineup (possibly for hours), get there before 9pm on Friday or Saturday. Cover will run you about $10, and drinks will all be $5 or more. No dress code; dress ranges from casual jeans and t-shirts to more fancy stuff."
Lisa Sherman

"Step into a world of tranquility at Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden - the first full-scale Ming Dynasty garden constructed outside of China."
