Where is it?
Vancouver is in south-west Canada, next
to the Pacific Ocean, 24 miles from the US
border.

It is always a good time to visit Vancouver.
The weather is never too cold or too hot.
It is warm and sunny in summer, but it
rains a lot in autumn and winter.

In spring, go skiing in the mountains
in the morning and sunbathe on the
beach in the afternoon. In summer,
go swimming, sailing or fishing, or go
walking in North America's biggest park,
Stanley Park. There are excellent shops in
Yaletown, and there is also theatre, opera,
and music of every sort. Vancouver is the
'c of Festiva Is'.

~ Vancouver is a cosmopolitan city so there
are French, Italian, Japanese, Indian, Thai,
and Chinese restaurants. Vancouver's
Chinatown is the second biggest in North
America, after San Francisco. There is also
a lot of delicious, fresh seafood.

In the busy city centre there are some
excellent, expensive hotels. The beautiful
Fairmont Hotel is $400 a night, but
next to the sea there are a lot of cheap,
comfortable hotels from $59 a night.

You don't need a car in Vancouver. There
are slow, old trolley buses and there is the
fast, modern Sky Train. Take the ferry - it
is a great way to see the city.
