VANCOUVER

Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Coastal Mountain range, Vancouver is one of the most diverse and desirable places to live in the world. There are few places where you could spend the morning skiing in the peaks, the afternoon hiking through dense forest, and the evening sailing into the sunset. Downtown Vancouver is the pulsating centre of the city where you’ll find multiple entertainment, sport and art venues alongside an irresistible culinary scene and vivacious, neon-lit nightlife. Close by, you’ll find Gastown, a stylish and chic neighbourhood home to many independent and well-regarded eateries, galleries, and boutiques.

Wander further west and you’ll find yourself in upscale West End, a shopper’s delight, or continue west to the beautiful, vast green oasis of Stanley Park, one of the largest urban spaces in North America. Fantastic hiking and cycling routes, stunning vistas over the city and numerous family attractions all surrounded by the waters of English Bay and Vancouver Harbour make this a must-see when visiting. Foodies should take the short boat ride across to Granville Island for the Public Market and take a walking tour to discover freshly caught seafood, delicious baked delicacies, artisan chocolates and the alluring aroma of ground coffee on offer and don’t forget to visit Chinatown, the third-largest in all of America!

Or to experience another side of Canada, catch the ferry across to Vancouver Island. Stunning scenery and charming towns await you here in a slightly more laid-back environment. The island's town of Victoria is a fabulous place to spend the day exploring its picturesque streets, quaint cafes, and famous gardens before hopping aboard a sunset cruise to spot majestic Orcas playfully dancing through the waters.

THE CANADIAN ROCKIES

One of the greatest spectacles in the world, Canadas Rocky Mountains is the ultimate, great outdoors. Glistening lakes and glimmering glaciers, wildlife-filled forests, snow-capped peaks and jaw-dropping alpine vistas —the sprawling landscape of the Canadian Rockies is as surreal as it is magnificent.

Running through the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, the Canadian Rockies is just one part of an enormous mountain range stretching across the border into the US.  At the heart, lies the stunningly beautiful Banff National Park. For breath-taking views over the park, jump aboard a Banff Gondola, or paddle across the sparkling emerald waters of Lake Moraine or Lake Louise. Travel north along the infamous Icefields Parkway taking the time to marvel at the area’s abundant wildlife and awe-inspiring views before finding yourself in Jasper National Park, By day, soak up the incredible views of the unspoilt wilderness and immense mountains, and at night lose yourself in the mesmerising starlit sky and if you’re lucky, the dazzling Northern Lights.

This fascinating land is home to black and grizzly bears, caribou, moose, coyotes, elks amongst many others making it a fantastic wildlife escape. Explore at your own speed on a fly-drive holiday, as part of an organised tour or opt to see the sights onboard the infamous and luxurious Rocky Mountaineer Railway, a truly unforgettable experience.
