Named "Best City in the Americas" for 2004 by Condé Nast Traveler magazine, the mild winters and warm summers make Vancouver a popular year-round vacation spot.

Canadian Rail Travel to Vancouver
For many travelers enjoying the luxuries of train trips, Vancouver is the ultimate vacation destination, offering dozens of golf courses, world-class dining, several ski slopes (and driving distance from the Whistler resort), sailing and kayaking, and energetic nightlife. This truly multi-cultural, cosmopolitan city boasts exquisite and adventurous international dining (and perhaps some of the best Sushi in the world!), and also the unique "West Coast Cuisine", traditional fine-dining with local ingredients and a fusion of Asian, California, and French flavours.
Preview the 2010 Winter Olympics
This city is also proud to be hosting the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Your Vancouver vacation could take you to the same slopes where the Olympians will be competing, featuring some of the best skiing in the world. A drive to Whistler through the Sea to Sky Highway offers truly breathtaking views of mountains and cliffs that slope right down to a gleaming ocean. Whistler Village is more than just a ski lodge: this charming four-season resort town is North America's top-rated ski resort with it's own unique atmosphere and fine dining, and unparalleled slopes. Hike the mountain trails during the summer (or even ride down the ski slopes in a rugged mountain bike!), or rent an all-terrain vehicle to explore the mountain foothills. Or experience the lush forest in a whole new way with an unforgettable zip-line tour of the treetops.
Any Vancouver vacation package truly combines the best of both worlds: the energy of a lively modern city surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the great outdoors.
