Vancouver,BC,Canada

Do we go somewhere we've been before--someplace we're familiar with that we want to see more of? It's always fun to return to a vacation destination you love, to remember the good times you've had there and create new memories at the same time.Or do we travel to someplace new to us?

It is actually not necessary to go abroad just to rejuvenate and relax, you can pick one beauty spot in your area and spend your vacation there with your family, but if you want to experience a new ways of life, culture, weather temperature and of course you wanted to see new sceneries the city of Vancouver is the place to be.

Describing Vancouver is no easy feat for a writer, least of all for someone who loves West Coast diversity and considers a trip to the city to be nothing short of exotic. Vancouver, with its majestic skyline of snow-tipped mountains and incredible sunsets, would impress the most seasoned traveller. It is also the place to go to find great nightlife, romantic dining, or just a lit tle bit of West Coast Canadian culture.

The places to note whenever you go to Vancouver

The Ancient and the Artistic Museums and the Like

The Vancouver art gallery

Housed in the old city courthouse, this museum features displays and travelling exhibits of a wide range of Canadian and international artists. Easy walking distance from Granville and Georgia.

A Little Bit of Heaven Vancouver Parks and Scenic Sites

Stanley Park

405 hectares (1,000 acres) of beaches, trails and forest - one of Vancouver's true historic landmarks.

Queen Elizabeth Park

The highest spot in Vancouver (500 feet/150 metres), it is home to the Bloedel Floral Conservatory.

Burnaby Mountain park

Ok, so this is a bit of a jaunt from central Vancouver. But for panoramic views, this park can't be beat. On a clear day you can see the Gulf Islands.

Unusual Landmarks

Granville island

A sign at Fir and Broadway will direct you north to the waterfront public market. Theatre, restaurants and artist studios are some of the specialties here. Very popular on weekends.

Transportation

1. Flight Reservation-Tickets can be found cheapest on internet by doing online booking. Prices vary

depending on factors like date of travel, airline, number of flight changes etc. www.makemytrip.com

2. Lowest fares and advance booking- Round trip tickets are cheaper than one way tickets. Airlines have

a choice of cabin class to offer. Economy class is cheapest and preferred by most of the travellers. Some

flights are not direct and travellers have to change flight and thus it increases the travelling time. But, in

most cases travellers have to pay less for non-direct flights. A quick search on airline websites shows

lowest fares available for a particular flight. After some research on internet, I found the following flight

suitable to my needs. Flight can be reserved online and payment can be finalized by using internet

banking or credit cards.
