Vancouver is Canada’s gateway to the Pacific, and it attracts millions of visitors each year. See what draws them in, with this insider’s look at the city’s most awe-inspiring sights and fascinating history. Written by an award-winning author and journalist who specializes in the Pacific Northwest, and lushly illustrated with Elan Penn’s gorgeous photos, it showcases both well-preserved Victorian landmarks and modern views. Visit the welcoming vistas and parks (including the grand 1,000 acre Stanley Park); the galleries and museums, such as the Museum of Anthropology with more than 6,000 First Nation objects on display; and dazzling architectural and natural wonders—including the old-growth forests that surround the city. Every page reveals a new and spectacular treasure.
