Destination guide

Vancouver: Mountains, ocean and the best Asian food in North America

Vancouver sits between the Pacific and the Coast Mountains, a short flight from Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Stanley Park, Granville Island and Whistler's ski slopes two hours north make it a year-round destination.

Best time to visit: June–September is dry and warm — the best time for the seawall, beaches and hiking. December–March is ski season for Whistler and the North Shore; spring and fall are wet but cheap.
