Granville Island

Vancouver is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in North America with dozens of cultures represented in restaurants, stores, markets and distinctive neighbourhoods throughout the region. This culturaly diverse city is a hands-down winner for its far wider array of great ethnic food, including Southeast Asian & East Asian, East Indian, First Nations, Gay, Greek, Italian (with neighbourhoods to match).

Known for its spectacular scenery, natural attractions, Vancouver and the Lower Mainland are an outdoor paradise for the active-minded, with hundreds of options ranging from snowshoeing to scuba diving, kayaking to rock climbing, hiking to biking, and skiing to boating. It's true that you can ski in the morning and hit the beach in the afternoon here.
