Introduction

Nestled between the rugged West Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver is a city that amazes everyone. The city is green year-round with the mildest climate in Canada, which means any time is a good time to visit.  Getting around Vancouver could not be easier. The streets are clean, easy to navigate and cabs are plentiful, alternatively you may wish to hire your own rental car. For something different, take the SkyTrain monorail, the SeaBus, a Granville island Ferry or perhaps hire a bike and cycle around the Stanley Park seawall.  Take a sightseeing tour onboard a motorcoach, trolley bus, double-decker, romantic horse-drawn carriage or take a bird\'s eye view of Vancouver from a helicopter.  Vancouver boasts an endless supply of things to see an do. Take in the fabulous sights, shop in trendy districts, stroll through an ancient rainforest, enjoy the vibrant entertainment on offer and dine in ethnic neighbourhoods.
