Travel to Vancouver
Vancouver is a prominent city in western Canada, based in British Columbia's Lower Mainland. The city is as historically old as it is modernly trendy. The city of Vancouver was founded on the traditional and unacclimated lands of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh people more than 10,000 years ago. The third largest city in Canada, which sits on the Georgia Strait and is flanked by magnificent mountains and lush green forests, is a diversified center with stunning architecture. Ironically, Vancouver offers some of the best weather in the country, making it a great place to play, explore, and have experiences both inside and outside.
Why Go to Vancouver, Canada
There’s never a bad time to visit Vancouver, each season of the four seasons has its own reasons on what to do and why to go. The months of April through November are ideal for whale watching. Consider Chinese New Year, which takes place between January and February, the Vancouver Marathon in May, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival in June, or the Vancouver Pride Parade in July or August for events and festivals. Summer seems to be attractive to most people with the longest daylight hours, while winter being mild is the least congested season and has trees and flowers growing as early as February. Keep in mind that the rainiest months are November to March, making September the most ideal time to get outside, with beautiful plants, cooler temperatures, and clear skies. Vancouver is known to have anything that comes to mind due to its diversity. The Downtown Centre, which is in the heart of the city; Gastown, which is known for its historic quarter filled with cobblestone streets and trendy restaurants; Kitsilano for beachgoers; Yaletown for world-class shopping and dining; Chinatown for great eats and sights; and the West End, which has the expansive Stanley Park awaiting outdoor enthusiasts. Inconclusion, Vancouver has it all: beaches, oceans, parks, and mountains; now, you choose your adventure
Who Should Go
Nature Enthusiasts
Vancouver’s nature is breathtaking just as if it’s ripped out of computer’s wallpaper. From small parks such as Lynn Canyon, a canyon formed by a small river, with beautiful sceneries and a lush forest to the expansive Stanley Park and Capilano Suspension Bridge.
Families
Vancouver is made for kids to enjoy as much as adults with a combination of entertainment that will not be found elsewhere. Start off the day having breakfast with grizzly bears after taking a skyride up grouse mountain. If the day is sunny and hot, relax on Kitsilano beach. For a warm day, ride through Stanley Park or meet the animals at Vancouver Aquarium.
