Vacations - British Columbia
from: Jay BauderAre you torn between taking a luxurious, pampered holiday versus
an outdoor, sporty vacation? If you and your holiday partner
can't agree (or even if you're not sure yourself) there's no
need to compromise when you visit the city of Vancouver in
British Columbia, Canada.
An Urban Oasis - Stanley Park
Vancouver is one of the few cities (including New York with the
famous Central Park) that can boast a sizable park as one of its
features. Stanley Park is 1000 acres and is one of the largest
urban parks in North America.
Vancouver is a coastal city with plenty of walking and biking
trails. There's something for everyone, whether you enjoy an
easy pace viewing the waters of the Burrard Inlet along the
paved sea wall or take on the wooded trails of Stanley Park
where you'll find impressive untouched forest as well as
beautifully manicured gardens on your hiking or biking
adventure.
Art Galleries, Shopping and More...
Looking to enjoy some shopping? Vancouver has plenty of
interesting areas to shop. For the dedicated shopper a visit to
Robson Street will provide designer boutiques as well as trendy
coffee shops and restaurants, all with great people watching
spots to take a break.
For those who are looking for something a little different than
the usual step into Vancouver's Chinatown. You'll find beautiful
imported items along with delicious Chinese cuisine along the
streets with the red streetlamps and brightly colored signs.
Granville Island, which is also the home to the Emily Carr
Institute of Art, is a busy market along the water. Find fresh
fruit, flowers and a wide variety of ethnic foods to enjoy.
Browse the art and small specialty shops where you're sure to
find that special something to bring home for yourself or as a
gift.
The Vancouver Art Gallery in the heart of the city also has
something for the art enthusiast to enjoy, including
presentations of the famous works of Vancouver's Emily Carr.
Science World, Vancouver Aquarium - big draws for Young or Old.
Bringing the kids? The mirrored dome with lights will surely
catch their attention but what's inside this fascinating
structure will impress them (and you) even more! Interactive and
astounding you'll be entertained and educated in this attraction
originally built for Expo 86.
For a slower pace try the Vancouver Aquarium. Watch the Beluga
show or visit the tropics for a memorable visit.
World Class Resorts, Hotels and Golf Courses
Not far from Vancouver is the world renowned Whistler Village
Resort. Ideal for a luxury skiing vacation, it is also a popular
summer destination with biking trails, golfing, white water
rafting, ziplining and more for the truly adventurous.
Camping and RV parks are never far away or you can choose to
stay in one of the highly rated hotels for a real pampered
treat!
Vancouver is a culturally diverse city with many languages and
ethnic attractions. Although well known for rain, Vancouver's
mild climate is ideal for the many gardens and parks that make
up the city. Full of complimentary opposites, Vancouver is a
harmonious blend for enjoying the outdoors and city life in one
place.
