Vancouver

Named "Top City of the Americas" in Condé Nast Traveler magazine's 2009 Readers' Choice Awards, Vancouver offers travellers both outstanding opportunities for outdoor adventure and the sophisticated amenities of a world-class city.


Activities:
Plenty of things to do here in the city, golfing, hiking, walks through gardens and parks and outdoor/indoor swimming and skating. You can spend the day at a sporting event with the Vancouver Whitecaps, BC Lions or Vancouver Canucks or take one of the many guided tours through the city. There is a vibrant night life downtown on Granville St. or spend the evening at a play at the Theatre.
4.0/5


Events:
Although the city has lost a few great events there is still plenty of things that go on through out the year. Take in a play at Bard on the Beach, or watch the world famous Celebration of Light fireworks display. The Vancouver Sun Run attracts people from around the world and many more.
4.0/5


View:
Great views of the North Sore Mountains, Burrard Inlet and the Georgia Strait. Take a walk around Stanley Park or Out at UBC to get great views of the Pacific Ocean.
2.5/5


Accommodations:
Plenty of places to choose from when looking to stay in the city. Hotels, and Hostels are abundant in the down town core as well as scattered through out the rest of the city.
3.0/5


Dinning & Shopping:
Some of the Worlds latest fashion can be found at the malls and down on Robson Street. World class dining of all cuisines can also be found no matter what you are in the mood for.
3.5/5


Visit-ability:
Definitely a place you can spend an entire vacation, especially if you have the money. Unfortunately there is limited free things to do that are not repetative (walks in the park) but you can find plenty of coupons and discounts to help make things more affordable.
3.5/5


Total Rating: 20.5/30


Thoughts:
One of my favourite places to see especially during a big event. Try to take in the fireworks or a sporting event during your visit.
