Vancouver doesn’t leave much to be desired – with a vibrant urban center, natural surroundings of mountains and shores and lively multicultural neighborhoods, it’s easy to see why this Pacific Northwest gem has consistently been ranked one of the world’s most livable cities by The Economist.
The living is easy in Vancouver, as is visiting. You could easily spend your days soaking up Vancouver’s array of museums, including the Museum of Vancouver, UBC Museum of Anthropology and the Vancouver Art Gallery, or wandering through neighborhoods like the charming Commercial Drive, historic Gastown or the shopping mecca of Robson Street. If you’re more of a nature lover, you’ll enjoy Vancouver’s bounty of slopes, shores, trails and water sports, all easily within reach. After going for a walk on the wild side as you traverse the 460-foot Capilano Suspension Bridge, you might relax with a lunch cruise along Indian Arm, Vancouver’s stunningly lush glacial fjord.
