We invite you to join us in Vancouver, British Columbia, the gateway to our four-season playground and the rest of Canada. Located on the west coast, Vancouver is a world-class, multicultural city situated between majestic coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Rainforests, sparkling waterways and seasonal foliage have inspired others to confer accolades of “Most Liveable” and “Most Beautiful” on our city.
We invite you to explore our historic, educational and cultural facilities. Experience our sights, sounds and scenery with activities ranging from sedate walking tours to strolls in our parks and to more challenging hike on our mountains.
