Lying in picture perfect beauty between the snow-capped Coast Mountains and the ocean, Vancouver is a paradise of fun and entertainment, with a wealth of beach, parklands, and sports facilities. The big-city lifestyle combines easily with outdoors sports and fun, and if it weren’t for the unremitting rain in winter, Vancouver would be the perfect place.

 

Translink, Vancouver’s integrated public transport system is comprised of electric trolley buses, standard diesel buses, and the computerized SkyTrain elevated light-rail system. As well as a SeaBus that ferries passengers across Burrard Inlet. Taxis can be hailed at major hotels or by telephone, and privately owned ferries shuttle passengers around False Creek. Amtrak rail service and Greyhound Buses link Vancouver to Seattle and cities in Eastern Canada, as well as other US destinations.
 

Vancouver International Airport (YVR), located about 10km (6mi) south of the city on Sea Island, is a major center for domestic and international flights. The Vancouver Airporter bus from Pacific Central Station is the quickest and cheapest way to reach the airport.
