Vancouver sits between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains, regularly ranked among the most livable cities in the world. You can walk a seawall around a forest park in the morning and ski on the mountains above the city in the afternoon.
Stanley Park and the seawall
Stanley Park, a 400-hectare forest at the edge of downtown, is wrapped by a seawall path loved by walkers and cyclists. Totem poles at Brockton Point honor the First Nations, and beaches line English Bay.
Gastown and Granville Island
Gastown, the oldest neighborhood, has cobbled streets and a famous steam clock. Granville Island, reached by tiny ferries, has a public market, artists' studios and a brewery. Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain are just north of the city.
