Welcome to Vancouver!
A beautiful city on the west coast of Canada, Vancouver is next to the
Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountains, and has a clean, safe downtown
with a multitude of stylish shops. Vancouver has ample sporting opportunities
from sailing to skiing, or just walking around the giant Stanley Park
that reaches out from downtown towards the North Shore.
