Where to Go
VANCOUVER
Dramatic
snowcapped mountains
rise high above a modern city clinging to the coastline.
A downtown core of
century-old buildings
and
steel-and-glass skyscrapers
overlooks
busy waterways. Sandy beaches and rocky shorelines fringe manicured suburbs. Magnifi-
cent
old-growth forests
and
brilliant flower gardens
overflow with color. And residents
in love with the outdoors eagerly take advantage of its magnificent natural surroundings.
VICTORIA AND VANCOUVER ISLAND
The elegant capital of British Columbia couldn't be more different from its much larger
neighbor, Vancouver.
Well-preserved buildings
line the streets.
Totem poles
sprout from
shady parks. Restored historical areas house trendy shops, offices, and exotic restaurants.
Meanwhile,
double-decker buses
and
horse-drawn carriages
compete for the tourist
