Visit British Columbia
This cosmopolitan city basks in a glorious natural setting, set on the water yet surrounded by the Coast Mountains. Downtown Vancouver, including historic Gastown, Chinatown and Granville Island, is compact and easily explored on foot. On the edge of the city you’ll find the huge expanse of Stanley Park with its ancient cedars and totem poles, the beaches of English Bay and Kitsilano, Grouse Mountain and the Capilano Suspension Bridge. A multi-cultural hub of the Pacific world, it has some of Canada’s finest and most varied restaurants, shops and most lively entertainment. Countless highlights include the Museum of Anthropology, renowned for its insights into First Nations culture, and the spectacular float-plane flight to Bowen Island.
