Things to do in Vancouver

Have you tried visiting Vancouver? Vancouver is a city located in southwestern British Columbia in Canada. It is named after Captain George Vancouver, a British explorer. Vancouver has a population of 587,891 while Metro Vancouver, its metropolitan region, has a population of 2,180,737 . Metro Vancouver is the largest metropolitan area in western Canada and the third largest in the country. It is also the largest city and second-largest metropolitan area in the Pacific Northwest.

Vancouver is ethnically diverse, with more than half of its residents having a first language other than English. Population density is highest for a major city on the continent after New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City, and on track to being second by 2021.

Vancouver’s dramatic natural profile is breathtaking. Towering mountains just waiting to be explored soar thousands of vertical feet above the city at water’s edge. Vancouver’s beauty extends below the ocean’s surface, Scuba divers plumb the frigid waters between Vancouver Island and the mainland to view spectacular marine species.

Notable buildings within the city include Christ Church Cathedral, the Hotel Vancouver, the Museum of Anthropology (Arthur Erickson, architect) at the University of British Columbia, and the Vancouver Art Gallery. There are several striking modern buildings in the downtown area, including the Harbour Centre, Vancouver Law Courts and surrounding plaza known as Robson Square (Arthur Erickson) and the Vancouver Library Square (Moshe Safdie, architect), reminiscent of the Colosseum in Rome. for more info visit : http://www.deltahotels.com
