Vancouver est la troisième ville du pays, derrière Toronto et Montréal. Elle jouit d'un climat tempéré (océanique) et il y fait donc moins froid que dans le reste du pays, notamment dans l'est. La pluviométrie y est en revanche importante, comme à Seattle, distante d'environ 300 kilomètres.
Extrait d'un article sur la ville, provenant de l'excellent blog de voyage Velvet Escape :
Vancouver is one of my favourite holiday destinations.
The immense harbour, the towering trees of Stanley Park and the
breathtaking mountains just a short drive away form a spectacular
backdrop for Vancouver’s gleaming skyscrapers. Vancouver’s location,
hemmed in by its magnificent harbour, Stanley Park and the majestic
Coastal Mountain range, is truly spectacular. When strolling through the
city’s leafy streets, a view of the harbour or the mountains in the
background is never far away. In addition, the city’s cosmopolitan mix
ensures a multitude of cuisines available in eateries that suit all
sorts of budgets. There’s also a large variety of hotel options in Vancouver, from simple B&B’s to swanky five-star hotels.
Vancouver’s oceanside location also means that seafood is extremely
fresh and the city’s restaurants often feature fresh seafood prepared in
innovative, mouthwatering ways.
