Vancouver
Canada's most physically beautiful city sits between snow-capped mountains and the Pacific Ocean — a city where you can ski Whistler in the morning and kayak the Indian Arm in the afternoon. Vancouver's food scene reflects its extraordinary Asian population (Richmond is considered the finest Chinese food destination outside Asia), and Stanley Park's 1,000 acres of coastal rainforest are 10 minutes from downtown.
