Vancouver Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Vancouver, the largest city in western Canada, is urban with an outdoorsy flair—not too hard to imagine when you consider that inlets of the Pacific Ocean surround Vancouver on three sides, the majestic Coast Mountains rise in the north, and the fertile farmlands of the Fraser Valley sprawl eastward. Along with its spectacular natural assets, this cosmopolitan city offers a temperate climate, one of Canada's mildest.
