Vancouver BC Canada – Vancouver is located in the south western corner of British Columbian, on the Pacific coast. It is backed by the Coast Mountains and fronting Vancouver Island across Georgia Strait. The city is 40km (25mi) north of the US border, and 189km (117mi) north of Seattle. Downtown and the major neighborhoods are on a small peninsula, surrounded by English Bay on the west and the Burrard Inlet on the east.

This young bustling city is British Columbia's answer to San Francisco. The main atmosphere of Vancouver consists of the contrast of the natural green setting mixing with the industrial side of the city, the ocean and the mountains being so close to each other, and people from every corner of the globe coming together to form the Vancouver community.

Little Italy, Chinatown, Japantown, the East Indian shopping district - these multicultural areas are just a small sampling of the broad array of cultures and ideas that make Vancouver Canada one of the most colorful cities in the world. Vancouver is best described as a mosaic, a coming together of small different parts to make a colorful unified whole.

Because Vancouver has many tourists, the city has a large selection of hotels, motels, resorts, lodges, inns, bed & breakfast homes, vacation rental homes and suites, cabins, cottages, adventure tours, salmon fishing, kayaking adventure, ATV tours, RV rentals, and more. However, what makes Vancouver an unrivalled vacation destination is the clean, safe streets, friendly people and a wonderful collection of accommodation options.
