Vancouver is both a bustling metropolis and a city with a gorgeous natural side. Just a stone’s throw from the United States border, it’s also on the other side of the Pacific from Asia. You’ll see its influence as you stroll through Chinatown or take part in a colourful festival. Beaches, museums, festivals, sports, mountains, forests... it's worth crossing the whole of the American continent in order to get to Vancouver, on the splendid Pacific coast!
