Cradled between the ocean and snowcapped mountains, Vancouver's dazzling downtown district fills a narrow peninsula bounded by Burrard Inlet to the north, English Bay to the west and False Creek to the south, with greater Vancouver sprawling south to the Fraser River.
Edged around its idyllic waterfront are fine beaches, a dynamic port and a magnificent swath of parkland, not to mention the mirror-fronted ranks of skyscrapers that look across Burrard Inlet and its bustling harbour to the residential districts of North and West Vancouver.
Beyond these comfortable suburbs, the Coast Mountains rise in steep, forested slopes to form a dramatic counterpoint to the downtown skyline and the most stunning of the city's many outdoor playgrounds. Small wonder, given Vancouver's surroundings, that Greenpeace was founded in the city. |

d3com Sat May 19, 2007 21:20 UTC http://www.stevestonvillage.com has nothing to do with Steveston, as it's just a link farm, but this one does: http://www.StevestoniVillage.com | Atlast Thu Mar 15, 2007 21:40 UTC Been going for years to Stephos. Server ignored us and then when he finally came over his nose was dripping into his mouth which he started to lick. Disgusting. Calamari uneatable, returned, tea was ice cold, service was non-existant. Never going back. | MATIM Mon Mar 29, 2004 13:30 UTC Hi Barry how are you? I enjoyed the Vancouver page, I was there when I was 12. I wonder on what bridge I walked, I think the capilano bridge, have to ask my parents :-) | matcrazy1 Sat Aug 16, 2003 17:19 UTC Great page, great info and the best restaurants tips as your usual! |
