Traveler impressions of Vancouver (BC)
Safe and pleasant walking city. Convenient to food and shopping. Great views at bay side, harbour area,
Very cosmopolitan city. Food, people, transportation around the city, shopping, relaxation, fun, activities.
Overall, Vancouver has to be one of Canada's most exciting cities of all time and one that I enjoy the most.
Vancouver is one of the best places to go for a mini-vacation. There's 24/7 bakeries, fusion asian-western food that is sometimes even better than the original, and so many clubs you'll definitely find something that is your style.
Visit Granville Island, Stanley park, take a free shuttle bus from Canada Place to the Catalina swinging bridge (not for wheelchairs or people with balance problems) ,Grouse mountain ( a free shuttle bus leaves from Canada place), Stanley park including the Aquarium for young and not so young, here you have so many choices including a beach area, totem poles.
Vancouver is a great city. Very clean, lots of fun things to do for all travellers. Great options for food an drink!
One of the friendliest cities I've ever visited. Easy to get around, and plenty to see and do. If you're a first time visitor and you're not sure what to do, drop in to the visitor information centre at Canada Place.
Comparing to the state, it's not a good idea to do shopping here as stuffs are more or less the same as what we can find in the state, yet, the price is much higher.
It is a nice city. Good parks and attractions. Food is good and so is shopping and entertainment. Relatively nearby.
A beautiful city, lots of activities to get yourself into! I loved exploring it. Its not the cheapest for nightlife, nor the most exciting.
Great city, easy to get around, traffic not a problem, easy to find parking. Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, UBC area and Granville Island market and stores great places to visit.
one of the best places i have arrived in my travels, was sorry to leave. wonderful city. will definitely come back with my family to enjoy!
Wow, what a lovely, clean and well laid out city. The people are very polite and genuinely friendly.
Vancouver is the ultimate city - friendly locals, safe & clean, smoke-free and green-minded, great places to eat, shop and visit, all surrounded by parks, ocean and magnificent mountains!
Vancouver is a very friendly vibrant city. Perhaps plan to spend 3-5 nights here as there is plenty to do during the day such as Stanley park, the markets and Canada Place.
Vancouver is a melting pot of different races hence the abundance of authentic local dishes such as Chinese food, Japanese food,korean food, malaysian food,etc.
I would suggest to rent a bike or walk in downtown Vancouver to see Stanley Park, Gastown , Chinatown and main street will be great
A city with a little bit of everything. Very multi-cultural, with any kind of cuisine you could possibly crave.
It is one of the most beautiful cities I have visited in the 35 countries, I have traveled. Many attractions, events, or just relaxing in the parks or on the beach.
Vancouver is beautiful. My family and I love to spend time outdoor walking or cycling around the city and parks.
A great city! The people really make it special as they are so friendly and helpful (it probably helped that I'm English as they love the monarchy!).
Coming into Vancouver on the train from Seattle we were not impressed and felt we'd made a huge mistake in coming here.
"Everyone in Vancouver is a tour guide" is what we were told by a young woman who helped us find our way to Granville Island.
Vancouver has a lot to offer especially so that it's a melting pot of different cultures.The local Rest.
As Vancouver is a relatively young city by European standards, there is not much to see from an historical point of view (our opinion entirely).
It has a lot of hidden gems like the Marine building, Holy Rosary Cathedral, Public Library. All great architecture spots to marvel at.
Truly love visiting Vancouver. Great restaurants, good city to walk in, good shopping, friendly people, great hotels.
Vancouver is a place where you can relax your body and mind. Slow down your pacing and breath the fresh air.
I have visited Vancouver 3 times in my life. Actually I live in Vancouver right now. I love this city because we can enjoy anything I want to eat, also we can try many night clubs if you like.
it's a city. very quite on the street, not much people, not interesting place for shopping. but if you want relax, it's good city as nit busy at all.

More about Vancouver (BC)
An old-world British ambiance clings to South Granville, despite the fact that it slumped into industrialism for a while. The government injected Granville Island with some much-needed capital a few years ago, and the entire district has blossomed into a quaint commercial area rife with English pubs, craft boutiques, open-air markets and some of the best hotels in Vancouver.
Most of the accommodation in Vancouver is located in the greater downtown district. Guests based in this area enjoy easy access to Vancouver's hippest clubs, cafés, and lounges. Vancouver may be small by big-city standards, but it still has plenty to offer on the cosmopolitan front from cultural institutes like the Museum of Anthropology to Chinatown. Vancouver also has a fantastic shopping scene that includes large malls and exotic, ethnic marketplaces.
It cannot be denied that Vancouver's true power to move visitors is rooted in the outdoors. Every winter, skiers parade through Vancouver as a last stop on their way to Whistler. Nearby, Grouse Mountain operates a cable car and can be skied in the winter or hiked in the summer. Other summertime activities include mountain biking, beach combing, kayaking, and golfing.
The fastest way into the city is via Vancouver International Airport. Be sure to check out the interactive map of Vancouver for information on hotel locations, attractions, and must-see destinations.
