Visiting Vancouver is heaps of fun. Shocking nature. Well disposed local people. Huge city. Vancouver has everything!

I've visited Vancouver on many occasions as a vacationer, before at long last moving there myself in 2010. Furthermore, goodness… what a place!

I must state that it's not the least expensive place to live, an incredible opposite, it's a standout amongst the most costly urban areas on the planet! In any case, the expenses can be justified, despite all the trouble. What other place would you be able to go for a climb in the backwoods, sailing on the sea, skiing in the mountains, or shopping in a top of the line boutique – all around the same time?!

reasons why you should venture out to Vancouver!

1. THE PEOPLE

Davie Street Rainbow Vancouver

Canadians are known over the globe for their cordiality and neighborliness. Vancouverites are no special case! Despite the fact that Vancouverites can be stereotyped as yoga wearing-latte tasting fashionable people, living on the west drift breeds a specific sort of laid back and warm culture.

Vancouver is brimming with assorted variety – individuals have moved here from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Germany, England, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Ukraine, and Greece.

Vancouver likewise has an extensive gay network in the downtown West End neighborhood of Davie Village. You'll know once you've arrived when you see the flawless rainbow crosswalks on Davie Street. Vancouver is home to one of the Canada's biggest yearly gay pride marches.

To total it up, the general population in Vancouver are benevolent, open, and accommodating!

2. THE MOUNTAINS

English Columbia Mountains

Vancouver must be a standout amongst the most pleasant urban communities on the planet! The North Shore Mountains are shocking, particularly in the winter when their sharp pinnacles are canvassed in shimmering snow.

In winter time, go to one of many ski resorts that are effectively open from downtown Vancouver. Cypress, Grouse, and Seymour are close by, while Whistler (home of the 2010 Winter Olympics) is just a two-hour head out toward the finish of the extraordinarily picturesque Sea to Sky Highway.

Amid mid year climb the trails in Lynn Canyon, get sweat-soaked scaling Grouse Mountain, or vanquish The Chief close Squamish. There are unlimited potential outcomes to investigate the mountains around Vancouver!

Garibaldi Lake Hike

Lions Gate Bridge Vancouver

A short head out from Vancouver you will discover various turquoise chilly lakes that channel down from the ice fields in the mountains.

My most loved snow capped climb: Garibaldi Lake. Drive the Sea to Sky Highway past Whistler and watch out for the Garibaldi Lake Provincial Park signs to your right side. The principal hour of the climb is absolutely tough and bit tiresome, however once you land at the wonderful lake you'll see why it was all justified, despite all the trouble.

Need to see the ice sheets and lakes without putting in the perspiration and exertion of contacting them by walking? Agree to accept a grand flight visit with Harbor Air! An ice sheet visit via air has for some time been on my can list!

3. THE OCEAN

I cherish the Pacific coastline - the sea, the creatures, the water breaking on the rough shoreline, the long shorelines, tide pools, shoreline brushing, everything!

Investigate the lovely bank of British Columbia by driving along the Sunshine Coast or visit Vancouver Island. Sail up the Inside Passage with BC Ferries to encounter the entire coastline among Vancouver and the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

Orca Vancouver

Kayak Deep Cove

On the off chance that you need to inundate yourself in natural life go on a whale watching visit. There are various visit organizations that work out of Richmond, Steveston, or downtown Vancouver. There's nothing superior to seeing Orcas in nature!

A lot of different exercises are accessible too: kayaking, paddle boarding, leasing a speedboat, cruising, and swimming to give some examples. I would very prescribe that you go kayaking in excellent Deep Cove, a short drive outside of North Vancouver.

4. THE BIG CITY

Downtown Vancouver

After so much nature discussion, it's practically hard to picture Vancouver as a cosmopolitan city, however it really is.

In case you're not into the Great Outdoors you'll see that downtown has everything from five star lodgings, popular eateries, broad shopping conceivable outcomes, theaters, craftsmanship displays, shows, wearing occasions, and nightlife.

Vancouver Art Gallery

BC Place

Make a beeline for the Vancouver Art Gallery to get the most recent workmanship display, in addition to changeless shows that highlight Canadian craftsmen like Emily Carr.

Appreciate the Vancouver Symphony at the Orpheum, get a melodic or musical drama at Queen Elizabeth Theater, snicker until the point when your midsection harms at The Comedy Mix, or tune in to your most loved band play at The Commodore Ballroom.

Applaud Vancouver sports crews like the Canucks, Whitecaps, or BC Lions at arena settings like BC Place and Rogers Arena.
