“Vancouver is a great city. They have put a lot of work...”

Vancouver is a great city. They have put a lot of work into their infrastructure to host the Winter Olympics, making transport around the city much easier and also getting to and from the airport (which is one of the nicer airports i've seen!) as easy as possible. Vancouver is a beautiful city which seems to have lots of parks and green spaces, and of course there is the beach. It seems quite a child friendly city (although the few times i have been there it has been with friends who have children and so we have been focused more on this type of thing). There seems to be something for everyone, lots of outdoor activities, lovely restaurants and some good nightlife (we went to Sky Bar which was open until 2 i think). There are also some great shops. All in all, i'd definitely go back. It's also a great base for further exploration - not far from Whistler and whale watching expeditions are readily available. It's fairly expensive to fly there from the UK, but if you are planning a trip to other Wast Coast cities then Vancouver fits in perfectly (it's only a 3 hour drive from Seattle).
