Blessed with a spectacular Pacific Rim location, Vancouver is a study in contrasts and cohesion. Set between the mountains and the sea, the city blends cultures and landscapes, allowing visitors to enjoy a modern, cosmopolitan city alongside the great outdoors.
Main Attractions in Vancouver
One key attraction to visit is The Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park. A terrific walk is the sea wall that goes around Stanley Park, but plan 2 hours to do it. On the North Shore, try the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This will not only give you a thrill, but allow you to check out the huge trees that grow in the Pacific Rim.
Travel Tips in Vancouver
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) comprises two terminals: one for flights within Canada and one for flights between Canada and other countries. There are several options to go between YVR and downtown Vancouver, including scheduled coach transfers, limosine, taxi, car rentals and transit.
The Vancouver transit system, TransLink, is made up of a network of buses and unique services such as the SeaBus and SkyTrain. TransLink provides transit services covering over 1800 square kilometres of the Greater Mainland of Vancouver - getting around the city is convenient, easily accessible and often provides beautiful views of the city.
