Vancouver

Andrea Carlson's extraordinary neighbourhood restaurant, hyper-local, foraged, and farmed BC ingredients in a humble, deeply personal room. One of Canada's best.

The most beloved Italian restaurant in Vancouver, a beautiful room in Fraserhood serving pasta, wood-grilled meats, and natural wines with effortless warmth.

A sleek boutique hotel in Coal Harbour, steps from Stanley Park, with stunning mountain and harbour views.

405 hectares of temperate rainforest on a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific, the seawall walk (10km) with mountain and ocean views is one of the world's great urban walks.

One of the finest food markets in North America, fresh BC seafood, artisan bread, local cheeses, and outstanding street food under one enormous roof.

A 1.5-hour drive north on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, one of the world's great road trips. Whistler Blackcomb is North America's largest ski resort.
