The rest of the world has taken notice of the blessed life people in these parts lead, and surveys generally list Vancouver as one of the 10 best cities in the world to live in. It’s also one of the 10 best to visit, according to Condé Nast Traveler, and won that magazine’s Readers’ Choice Award in 2005, 2006, and 2007 as “Best City in the Americas.” In 2010, Vancouver hosted the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Located on the southeastern tip of Vancouver Island, a 90-minute ferry ride from Vancouver, Victoria is quieter and quainter than Vancouver, but it offers all the amenities you need for a wonderful holiday.
