Vancouver, Canada – Vacation Packages

Vancouver, B.C., where Asia meets America. An awesome, scenic city nestled between ocean and mountains, it boasts the second largest Chinatown in North America. Home to Stanley Park – a 1,000 acre wilderness park for walkers, hikers, bikers and drivers, Vancouver is excellent for outdoor exploring. The city can be seen on foot. When you’re tired of walking, go sailing, and then eat at a mountain top restaurant and ski in the evening.

In a physical setting that matches and probably exceeds that of Seattle, Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada. On a fjord called the Burrard Inlet, it is edged to the north and east by perpetually snow-capped mountains. The downtown area is on a small piece of land that juts out into the inlet. It’s a city of parks and year-round flowers due to the mild and wet climate. Most downtown attractions are close to one another, but a modern light-rail rapid-transit system will also be of help in getting around town.
