Welcome to Greater Vancouver!

Located between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountain range, Vancouver's popularity and consequent growth has lead it to envelope several communities that are now collectively known as Greater Vancouver. While all of the municipalities are located within close proximity of each other, they each offer a variety of distinct attractions. North Vancouver is home to the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which spans a tree-filled gorge and leads to an enchanting, forested garden. Other areas, such as West Vancouver, offer distinct communities rich with unique boutiques, restaurants and bars. Both North and West Vancouver are reached via the historic Lion's Gate Bridge, linking with Vancouver's downtown. White Rock, to Vancouver's southeast, is a renowned weekend retreat destination. Or venture east to Surrey, the 'City of Parks', with a total of 2,300 hectares (5,400 acres) of green space. The Vancouver International Airport is located in Richmond, just south of Vancouver proper.
