Vancouver has a charm to it that is quite unlike anywhere else on the west coast of North America. It feels almost European in contrast to the large American cities on the Pacific, yet its allure is one of uniqueness and a welcoming friendliness that is hard to match anywhere else in the world. As a world-class city, there is an array of things to do in Vancouver that will please everyone in the family and the selection of restaurants in Vancouver is absolutely amazing. Additionally, this Canadian city provides one of the best places in the world to participate in outdoor activities like bungee jumping, kayaking and hiking.

One very important note about visiting Vancouver: If you find yourself in this splendid city, you must absolutely make sure to get some maple-based products like syrup or taffy, they are without a doubt the best in the world and alone worth a trip to Vancouver.
