Vancouver at a Glance
Situated along British Columbia's coastline, Vancouver is a 'Pacific Pearl'. Lying
between the Coast Mountain range and the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver is one of the
most scenic cities in the world. Vancouver's mild temperatures and bounty of rain
are also owed to its location, making even the most urban of areas lush year round.
Stanley
Park—occupying 400 hectares (1000 acres) just north of downtown—is a flourishing
example of how Vancouver balances nature with its urban identity. A quintessential
west coast city, Vancouver appeals to millions of denizens and visitors who bask
in all it offers, from its soothing beaches to its bustling streets. Its cosmopolitan
character is reflected in areas like the very urban Robson
Street—Canada's version of Rodeo Drive—contrasted by trendy Granville
Island with its mix of cobblestone streets, artisan studios and eclectic market.
The Greater Vancouver
area will play host to the 2010
Winter Olympic Games. The Vancouver
International Airport is located in Richmond,
just south of Vancouver proper.
