One of the world’s youngest cities, Vancouver is also among the most modern and rapidly developing. Sleek state-of-the-art glass towers are interspersed with the odd Gothic church, Victorian warehouse, art deco confection and other more unusual constructions strangely reminiscent of a sailing ship, the Colosseum, a silver golf-ball, a giant marshmallow... This delightfully eclectic cityscape is utterly upstaged by its sublime location. Snow-capped mountains tower over the city, providing a breathtaking backdrop. Beaches, seawalls and ferry-buses are part of everyday life in Vancouver, which is built where river meets ocean and dissected by fjord-like inlets. And the frequent rain, along with a surprisingly mild climate, feeds a whole host of flower gardens and some of the planet’s biggest trees.
