As you may have read, our two weeks in Canada started with a week skiing in Whistler. Having travelled such a long way though, we had felt that a single week did not justify the effort of getting to the western seaboard of North America so we stayed on for an extra week in British Columbia, in Vancouver. We were travelling ... Read the complete review

After spending almost a year in Canada i've decided to give a few must visit places for anybody taking a trip to Vancouver. Stanley Park Easily accessable from downtown Vancouver and surrounded by snow capped mountains, on a clear day there are some great photo opportunities of the mountains alone. Near the entrance of ... Read the complete review

I would like to write a little bit about the city of Vancouver as I spent a year studying there at Simon Fraser University. The city is undoubtedly naturally beautiful and this is evident as soon as you fly into it. Before you land at Vancouver aiport you will be treated to spectacular views of the famous mountians and waters. ... Read the complete review

Last october, I went to Vancouver for just over a week. I would recommend it to anyone. It's a very clean city, with many shopping malls, and entertainment. I stayed in the International Youth Hostels (Downtown and Central). Both of which were very nice. I cannot emphasise enough how nice Canadians are. They are ... Read the complete review

This review is about two of the three Fairmont Hotels in Vancouver. The third, the Waterfront Centre I stayed at in 1997, and also enjoyed immensely, but the two I stayed at most recently are reviewed below. All three are very different, and are great in their own ways. The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver In recent years ... Read the complete review

Canada is the most expensive and the best holiday i have ever been on. whilst on our travels we stayed with some friends of my dads who lived in vancouver. it is a really pleasant place. it was helped by the fact we were right next to the local hills (more like mountains). they were beautiful with many nature walks, it was idyllic ...

I came to visit friends and relatives nine years ago and travel between my home of New York and Beautiful British Columbia. Vancouver is indeed a lovely, laid back city. It has the georgous mountains and English Bay. There is always good people watching on Robson St and coffee bars on just about every corner. This has been the dryest ... Read the complete review

My 6 week trip to Vancouver was probably the best holiday of my life. For great weather (in the summer anyway) and genuinely friendly people this should be top of your list as one of the best places to visit. What struck me mainly was how clean the city was; the people here really seem to take a pride in it, and in true Canadian ... Read the complete review

I visited Canada for the first time this year and we were based in B.C about 20 minutes outside downtown Vancouver. My memories are extremely positive.... in fact I looked into emigrating when we got back home to England because I had been so taken with B.C. Everywhere seemed so clean and there were no drunken louts on ... Read the complete review

Ok, I am a bit biased as this is my birthplace and home for the first 25 years of my life. I did the opposite of what my mother did. I came from Canada to England to Live! Same weather, just a bit older! Vancouver is an outdoor lovers paradise. For a city, there is such a wide range of things to do at any time of the year. ... Read the complete review
