A city built between wilderness and urban wonder
Vancouver stands as a unique metropolis where glass skyscrapers rise against snow-capped peaks, where ancient temperate rainforests border bustling neighborhoods, and where the Pacific Ocean shapes not just the coastline, but the entire culture of this remarkable city.
Named after Captain George Vancouver, this city at the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway has grown from the ashes of the Great Fire of 1886 into one of the world's most livable cities—a place where you can ski in the morning and sail in the afternoon.
