Vancouver

Cons: ...covers an underbelly of seething anger, ready to burst at any moment.

Lady Vancouver is a curious gal. She is both saint and sinner, angel and devil, incredibly gorgeous ...

Pros: Lots of shopping malls, places, cheap C$
Cons: Rains too much

Being a past resident of Vancouver for twenty some odd years, I've decided on writing a few reviews on Vancouver. This is one of a series of reviews on the major shopping centers, malls and shopping areas of the Vancouver region.

Vancouver...

Pros: Informative, freebies, discounts and bargains for related stuff
Cons: May be hassled into investing, buying or giving out personal info

This may seem to be a review that is off topic as it relates to an event that occurs in Vancouver rather than a travel review on Vancouver. After much thought, I decided to still post this under Vancouver as it is a yearly event that is held in...

Pros: The locale, restaurants, relaxed atmosphere, people, day trips, sights, value/price.
Cons: Traffic, nondescript high rise buildings, crime, seamy side.

Rarely have I enjoyed so much a delightful first visit to a city on the one hand (only to be a bit disappointed on the other) as with Vancouver, the urban center of Canada’s western-most province of British Columbia. In fact, the sheer joy of my...

Pros: A contemplative space, a therapeutic experience.
Cons: There's no room for negativity in this review.

We arrived in Vancouver for the Memorial Day weekend, sans an itinerary. We have done it all in Vancouver, and some of the places many times over; Stanley Park, Grouse Mountain, Granville Island, the Downtown, the waterfront, and so many other places....

Pros: Lots to see and do. Amazing location!
Cons: Parts of the city are unsafe.

As a former Air Force Brat, I had lots of opportunity to travel as kid and saw a lot of major cities (New York, London, Amsterdam, Chicago etc.) but probably my absolute favorite is right here in my own backyard – fabulous Vancouver B.C. right across the...

Pros: One of the Most Beautiful Cities in the World
Cons: Not enough time to see all they have to offer!

I was recently married and my Bride and I had decided on Vancouver as a Honeymoon destination. I know most people are probably thinking, A Southern California couple in Canada in April, brrrrrr. You would be a little right but we had our minds made up...

Pros: that old Victorian feel, cobblestoned streets, Gastown Steam Clock, excellent food, great night life
Cons: a lot of homeless people will approach you looking for handouts

Vancouver, British Columbia is a place I have called home ever since I was born so many years ago. It's amazing how in such a short time Vancouver has become one of the top cities in the world to visit boasting of cultural diversity and natural wonders. ...

Pros: Vibrant dense neighborhoods in a stunning natural setting.
Cons: Winter. (They're working on it.)

Highrises! Forests of them! And the traffic! The mountains are lovely, but how does anyone get there? And how can anyone live like this? Well, you might just ask them. Many of them love it. They know that their city sings, just as its name soar ...

Pros: natural beauty, excellent variety for dining, lots of entertainment spots
Cons: unpredictable weather, traffic congestion, crime rate

That was a tag line used at one time to describe British Columbia pointing out all the natural beauty the lies within this province. It still holds true with Vancouver being the centre of attention.

I am a native of Vancouver having lived here...

Pros: Scenery, Culture,
Cons: None

Last year I went on this absolutely fabulous holiday, the trip of a life time, you might say. I travelled to Canada and Alaska for three weeks. My holiday was essentially in three parts, (i) City Break in Vancouver, (ii) Cruise with Norwegian Cruise...

Pros: Stunning scenery, friendly people, great restaurants
Cons: Rains more than England!

Surrounded by sandy beaches and snow-capped mountains, it’s very hard to beat Vancouver for sheer breathtaking beauty. Top that with numerous parks – including the huge forest-filled Stanley Park, superb shopping, varied nightlife, cultural and ...

Pros: MOUNTAINS, BEACHES, CITY LIFE, VANCOUVER HAS EVERYTHING!
Cons: - EAST HASTINGS STREET!

I am a Vancouverite born and raised and I'm about to give you some great insight into how to explore our fine city without spending too much money. Being a Canadian province, British Columbia is already rather inexpensive due to the fact everything is ...

Pros: Mild weather year round (no snow!), mountains, ocean, extraordinary food
Cons: Downtown eastside = drug addict haven. Some visitors don't like the winter rain.

Introduction:

It almost goes without saying that if you meet someone in Vancouver, they're probably not originally from Vancouver to begin with. Within the past 20 years, hundreds of thousands of people moved to Vancouver. Immigrants...

Pros: Has beautiful setting.
Cons: none

Vancouver has it all. In addition to a mild (for Canada)climate year round, Vancouver is blessed with wide sandy beaches, sparkling water,tall Douglas fir forests and snow capped mountains. It is a beautiful setting for a friendly city. Vancouver is a...
