One only has to look around to be inspired in Vancouver. Spectacular
mountains reach up out of the ocean and rub shoulders with gleaming
urban high-rises, stunning coastal waters intermingle with a vibrant
cosmopolitan centre and its people embrace each other, the environment
and a healthy dose of culture.
Downtown Vancouver is a fluid concept, as it runs into both the west end and the downtown eastside. Roughly, it is the area bounded by Burrard Street on the west, False Creek on the south, Vancouver Harbour on the north, and from the corner of Cordova and Granville to Science World, on False Creek on the east side.
Although a part of the Greater Vancouver area, North Vancouver is a separate
community in its own right, and certainly has its share of appeal for
the visitor, in addition to what Vancouver itself has to offer.
With a striking location on the north shore of Burrard Inlet, across the
memorable Lion's Gate Bridge, North Vancouver is one of the most prestigious
urban addresses in Canada. This reputation is well deserved. Just driving
through its suburban streets admiring the incredible architecture makes
for a fascinating experience. The streets seem like the pages of an upmarket
home and garden magazine come to life.
Scattered in the Pacific Ocean just off of mainland B.C. are a multitude of islands with gem-like brilliance. Some have emerald rainforests, others polished communities, and all are surrounded by crystal waters. Each precious rock, from large to small, has its own story and its own rhythm, appealing to a variety of residents and visitors.
On the seaside of the Pacific Ocean, framed by snow capped coastal mountains
lies beautiful and vibrant Vancouver.
Vancouver is cosmopolitan in structure, events and attitude, yet is greatly
influenced by a remarkable natural setting. The combination of rich cultural
experiences and vast opportunities for exploring nature makes Vancouver an intriguing
destination.
