Why It's Worth It
From downtown’s glass towers to the North Shore Mountains, Vancouver is one of the world’s most captivating cities. It’s a surreal panorama of orcas, totem poles, and hockey-loving hipsters. Facing the Pacific Ocean and burgeoning with huge cedar and spruce trees, the metropolitan area of more than 1,040 square miles offers endless adventures. —Lucas Aykroyd
