Located on the Pacific coast between the sea and mountains, the stunningly scenic city of Vancouver is the largest in the province of British Columbia.

A cosmopolitan city offering, cultural attractions, art galleries, museums, theatres, excellent shopping, fine restaurants and a host of outdoor activities on its doorstep, it is easy to see why Vancouver is one of the world's most popular cities. For fans of the great outdoors you are just spoilt for choice with plenty of outdoor pursuits on offer nearby or just a short distance away, at Whistler for example where the 2010 winter Olympics where held, try your hand at skiing and snowboarding (season permitting). Alternatively, why not explore the spectacular coastline by taking one of the many excursions by floatplane or boat.
