Vancouver is a city on the west coast of Canada in the province British Columbia. Vancouver has a large number of attractions, suitable all year round.

The See Vancouver Card is a great investment; it allows you free entry to over 50 of the cities main attractions. Air Canada operates direct flights from most major US cities to Vancouver International Airport (YVR).

Nicknamed Hollywood North for the ever-present film crews, Canada's west coast gem of Vancouver is young, thriving and diverse, with the perfect combination of exquisite natural beauty and the modern conveniences of a city side by side. Named after Royal Navy sea captain George Vancouver who sailed into the Burrard Inlet on the British Columbian coast in 1792, Vancouver was barely even a town 100 years ago. Today more than two million souls call it home, and the shiny Jetson-style towers of Yaletown and the downtown core contrast dramatically with the snow-capped mountain backdrop, creating a laid back atmosphere amongst the bustle of Canada's third biggest city.
