Vancouver is a large metropolis on the Pacific coast of British Columbia,  Canada. A bustling, dense international destination often buzzing with movie shots and celebrities. The glamour and towers might be your first impression, yet Vancouver has an expansive urban beauty surrounding vibrant, livable, inclusive neighborhoods. You can easily walk from a downtown peninsula dense with all variety of foods, drinks, and shopping to the 17-mile waterfront trail or Stanley park, an astounding park full of gems. There are countless outdoor day excursions like  kayaking, skiing, or camping near the mountains surrounded by a surreal panorama of water and snowy peaks.
