Vancouver is Canada's 3rd largest city, one of the world's most beautiful cities, and just recently rated the 3rd best city in the entire world to live. Bordering Puget Sound and the nearby Pacific Ocean, it offers all the best a coastal city can. Coupled with its close proximity to the mountains, it takes only 45 minutes to reach the nearest ski hill. Each year, many Hollywood movies are shot on the streets of Vancouver.
Stanley Park, the Lions Gate Bridge, the Capilano suspended bridge and the Vancouver Aquarium are all worth seeing. Lovely Victoria is only a one hour ferry trip away. The climate in Vancouver is the envy of most Canadians, as it is the mildest in all of Canada. [edit text][editors]
