An ideal, picture-postcard setting; you will just want to relax and breathe deeply! Jagged mountain peaks, sandy beaches, and beautiful clear blue water surround the best part of British Columbia - Vancouver. Mountains, forests, and oceans are the very elements that make Vancouver one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
A rich ethnic mix of cultures has provided Vancouver with incredible diverse restaurants and shopping areas. Languages spoken are English, Chinese (the second-most-common language), French, Punjabi, German, Italian, Tagalog (Filipino), Vietnamese, and Spanish.
There is an abundance of parks in Greater Vancouver - two forest reserves within city boundaries, Stanley Park and Pacific Spirit Regional Park. There isn't a form of entertainment that cannot be found: arts, theater, music, and professional sports. You are going to love visiting Vancouver, and you are going to want to stay!

Vancouver Airport
The most convenient means of transportation is to take a direct flight to the Vancouver International Airport. Vancouver Airporter buses run every 15 minutes from 6:30 am until 12:10 am. One-way bus service departs most major downtown hotels every 30 minutes; fare $12, round trip $18; phone (604) 946-8866 or (800) 668-3141. Buses depart from the airport's two Arrivals levels. Taxi service ranges from $20 - $30 one-way. It takes about 25 minutes to get from the airport to the city center (about an 8-mile trip).
