Vancouver is a natural wonder. This West Coast Canadian city is situated between the Pacific Ocean and the Coastal Mountains, making for some of the most unforgettable scenery you’ll ever find. And Vancouver’s year-round temperate climate means that your family can enjoy outdoor activities here any time you visit. Vancouver isn’t the capital of British Columbia, but it is the province’s largest city, and the diverse array of offerings reflects that. Get outside and enjoy.

Quick Tips to Start

For information about currency conversion rates, see the Universal Currency Converter at www.xe.com/ucc. When you convert cash, avoid hundred-dollar bills, because many Vancouver businesses won’t accept them.

Vancouver has a temperate climate, with warm summers and mild winters. The average rainfall is 47 inches a year, so whenever you go, do bring water-repellent jackets for the whole family.
