Welcome to Vancouver

Vancouver is a modern, glittering city that seems built into, and built up from, some of the most awe-inspiring natural landscapes on the planet. It is a gathering place for people of many backgrounds where the ocean, forest and mountains converge. 

Every corner is touched by immaculate beauty, each meal elevated by a world-class culinary scene and everyone you meet eager to share their passion for a life made extraordinary just by being here.

Majestic mountains, sparkling ocean, rainforests and beautiful foliage throughout all four seasons make Vancouver one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vancouver's citizens take great pride in our welcoming, clean, safe streets - day or night, all year round. 

Catering to any interest throughout the year, you can enjoy world class shopping, gourmet meals, outstanding live entertainment, sporting events, theatre, outdoor adventure, spectacular sights and attractions - it's all waiting for you in Vancouver.
