Vancouver – a harbour of smiles, tolerance, ecology, and peace

Vancouver has long been titled the best city in the world. Deep kindness of the city locals, unity of various cultures, cared-for nature, and exquisite landscape contrasts make Vancouver the perfect city. You can decide if it’s true for yourself, as do millions of other city guests each year.

How to travel?

Curious travellers can reach Vancouver by plane, which lands in the international Vancouver airport. You can reach the city centre by using a bus or a speed train. They are also great for going to see the city’s famous sightseeing objects, or you could use trolleybuses, rented cars, and bikes too.

What to taste?

Vancouver’s offered food is very similar to that of other Canada’s restaurants. However, the highly ecological city has much less fast-food establishments. Locals like to eat fish and sea food dishes. Vancouver cuisine also has influences from the Chinese and French cultures.

If you want to try some food praised by the locals, order some Chinese pie with ground beef, yellow corn and mashed potatoes. We also recommend tasting local beef, lamb, and venison steaks. You can always snack on beef jerky, tapai, or sandwiches with smoked meat. Everyone who has a sweet tooth can order some classic Canadian butter tarts and pancakes with maple syrup.

What to see?

Vancouver manages to balance the past and the present really well. This is especially noticeable from the city infrastructure and architecture. The metropolis has plenty of museums, with the main ones being the Vancouver Museum, the Maritime Museum, and the Museum of Anthropology. You can gain a lot of new knowledge after visiting the H. R. MacMillan Space Centre and the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Old town Robson Street is great for taking a walk, and you could also visit the Vancouver Market, the Chinatown, and its amazing oriental garden. You can find breathtaking landscapes in Stanley Park and Vancouver Island, where you can also observe the panoramic view of the city.

What to do?

Vancouver is washed by the waves of the Mediterranean ocean itself, so take a chance to indulge in some swimming or diving, and observe the city from an unusual perspective at the beach. The coast opens up for majestic mountains full of ski runs and hiking trails. You can reach the top of Grouse Mountain by using a gondola.

Yet another great pastime activity for Vancouver guests is viewing the city bridges. Vancouver’s nightlife does not disappoint either. The city is brimming with friendliness, and tolerance for different kinds of lifestyle, as well as plenty of entertainment possibilities and ways of getting acquainted with local culture better. This makes Vancouver a perfect place to live. There may be even more reasons for this, and you can find all about it, if you just book a holiday in this adventurous capital of Canada.
