Why I love Vancouver
A city with endless opportunities to explore...
What's so great about Vancouver?
Vancouver offers an incredible mix of the great outdoors and vibrant and bustling city life. This city offers breathtaking mountain views including three mountains famous for skiing: Grouse, Cypress, and Seymour. With countless breweries, bars and pubs for anyone who loves a good drink with friends, Vancouver is ideal for a night out. The diversity found in Vancouver is fantastic and it is not uncommon to hear more than four languages being spoken on your average afternoon walk. Our city park (known as Stanley Park) is 10% larger than New York's Central Park and boasts a sea wall that is perfect for running, biking, and walking. Just a ferry-ride away is Vancouver Island, home to a little hippie town called Tofino with the best surfing in North America. You can to learn to surf from the many surfers offering lessons on the beach! Rich in wildlife, culture, scenery, and nightlife, Vancouver is a must-visit for any traveller who comes to Canada.
