Vancouver Sites

Vancouver has many arrows to its quiver, being a city of unique cultural identity and more than impressive coastal surroundings. It is also of hugely recognised importance in the filming industry and has a public transport system second-to-none. While it is certainly not a cheap city to visit or stay in for any length of time (compared to other large cities in North America and across the globe), this doesn't put off the many tourists who have graced the Vancouver city limits in search for great travel experiences... and with such an overwhelming amount to discuss, it's no wonder there are so many reliable and informative blogs dedicated to Canada's international treasure.
