Vancouver is Canada's magnificent and multi-cultural jewel of the Pacific Northwest. Built on hilltops which are surrounded by sparkling waters and majestic snow-capped mountains, Vancouver enjoys being recognized as one of the world's most beautiful cities.

Directly adjacent to the downtown is Stanley Park, 1000-acres of unspoiled forest, manicured lawns, pristine beaches and panoramic views. Stanley Park is located next to the West End, and it is here you'll find the heart of gay Vancouver.

Check out Davie Street for some queer coffee, a good meal, a new outfit or trinket, or a good time at one of many bars and dance clubs. Vancouver is a premier dining city thanks to a strong ethnic presence and some of the best seafood available - expect to walk away from the table full and very satisfied.
