A modern, diverse, very handsome city, Vancouver has happily risen to the occasion of international hot spot, and with upgraded transportation plus, in recent years, a slew of new hotels, restaurants, and facilities, it’s better than ever. Fortunately for us, the city is just as celebrated for its local seafood, excellent Asian fare, and Northwestern culinary flair as for its spectacular natural scenery and outdoor playground. If ever there was a perfect mix of eating and burn-it-off activities, Vancouver might be it.
