Vancouver and the Lower Mainland - an introduction

We start with an introduction to Vancouver and its physical characteristics providing insights into why it is constantly rated at or near the top of surveys by many international organizations with respect to "quality of life", or livability. The geography of the region not only dominated the course of historical and social development but is its main attraction to the rest of the world.

A trip to the Vancouver Lookout at Harbour Centre is recommended as a perfect way to start any visit to Vancouver, whatever the duration. Centrally located it provides a spectacular orientation to the physical elements that make up the Vancouver area. Remember to use the same-day re-entry option to see the views during the day and evening. On the premises there is a cafe for light refreshments and a relaxing staging area for sightseeing activities. Friendly staff are available to answer your "Vancouver" questions.
