Vancouver Holidays - Travel Guide

Vancouver is a modern city that, by Canada’s standards, is fortunate enough to be blessed with a very mild climate. The reason for this good fortune is that Vancouver is protected by a mountain range on one Side and warmed by Pacific currents on the other. It allows the locals, or ‘Vancouverites’ and anyone enjoying holidays in Vancouver, to enjoy an exciting outdoor lifestyle coupled with the very chic city experience of shops, bars, theatres and clubs that forms the trendy cosmopolitan city of Vancouver.

At the heart of Vancouver is Canada’s largest city park. The enormous Stanley Park covers hundreds of acres in the centre of the city and even has forests and lakes.

Vancouver Holidays offer some magnificent scenery not only in the surrounding areas but also in the city park and the picturesque cobbled streets of Victorian Gastown. Holidays in Vancouver are a great opportunity to shop, with a massive variety of stores selling just about anything you can imagine.

Vancouverites are voracious consumers of coffee so you'll never be far from a coffee vendor should you require a caffeine fix to keep you going. Some absolutely exquisite food can be found in the restaurants of China town but you'll never be short of variety with the assortment of international fare available in Vancouver, including French, Thai, Greek and Indian.

The winter months provide excellent opportunities for skiing and snowboarding on nearby Grouse Mountain. The enormous Whistler Ski resort is only a couple of hours drive from Vancouver. The city itself has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to entertainment.

With a huge variety of excellent restaurants and plenty of bars, comedy clubs and theatres to back them up, an evening out on holiday in Vancouver can be as exciting and diverse as you want it to be. Hikers and walkers will be in their element on Vancouver Canada Holidays with a vast number of superb trails throughout the region’s parks.
