Greater Vancouver
With its dramatic location between the lofty Coast Mountains
and expansive Pacific Ocean, Vancouver is one of the world's
most beautiful cities – a modern, multi-cultural metropolis
at the edge of rugged wilderness.
 |
Long regarded as ‘the Lotus Land' of Canada, Vancouver's
balmy west coast climate and gorgeous setting creates a year-round
paradise for outdoor activities, such as strolling through its
many parks and gardens, or enjoying something more active like
skiing, golfing and sailing, often all in the same day.
The city's rich milieu of people and cultures has
crated an exotic ethnic experience that extends throughout
the region. Dining is extraordinary, with more than 25 different
cuisines in more than 4,000 restaurants, bistros and cafes.
A diverse and cosmopolitan cultural scene permeates galleries,
museums, theatres and clubs. And music of every type, from
classical and Celtic, to Caribbean, country, big band and
blues, is at the core of the city's artistic life, with
annual festivals honouring jazz, folk bluegrass and chamber
music. It's a mix of juxtapositions that illustrates
Greater Vancouver's' ease of mixing old with new;
of preserving its ancient aboriginal settlements while building
high-rises of glass and steel; and of maintaining its farmlands
while creating new economies in the high-tech and aerospace
industries, as well as new tourism opportunities such as learning
vacations that run the gamut from survival skills to cooking
skills.
