Vancouver -Tourist Guide

Located at the southwestern corner of the beautiful province British Columbia, Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada and one of the biggest sea ports on the Pacific ocean with many Cruise Ships to Alaska.

Host of 2010 Winter Olimpic Games, Vancouver is frequently ranked as one of the "best cities to live in", and one of the rare places where you could ski in the mountains and sail your boat in the Pacific ocean in the same day.

But Vancouver offers more than that. Beside touristic attractions like Stanley Park, Vancouver Aquarium, Science World, Capilano Bridge, and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Vancouver is also a well-known culinary destination with an abundance of outstanding restaurants and a big variety of Asian, Greek or Arabic cousines.

Vancouver - Driving

As majority of North-American cities, Vancouver's road network is a grid system with "Streets" running north-south and "Avenues" running east-west. Arterial roads follow the grid fairly well, but side streets frequently disappear for blocks at a time and then reappear. Most of the "Avenues" are numbered and they always use East or West to designate whether it is on the East side or the West side of Ontario Street. Some of the major avenues use names rather than numbers.

Downtown Vancouver it's surrounded by water on three sides, therefore most of the ways in and out, require drivers to cross a bridge. This can cause traffic congestion, particularly at peak times (morning and evening commutes, sunny weekend afternoons, major sporting events), so taking that in consideration could be a useful.

Parking in Vancouver downtown generally costs CA$1-4.00 per hour or CA$12-$20 per day. Commercial areas will typically have meter parking on the street, with meters accepting Canadian and American change only (American coins accepted at par value). Residential streets may allow free parking, but some will require a permit.
