Cities
vancouver and beyond
Vancouver has again been voted 'Best City in the Americas' by Condé Nast Traveler magazine and it will host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Vancouver is a growing, multicultural city surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Vancouverites love to hike local mountains, kayak local waters and bike local forests. They love their food as well and Vancouver has exploded with world-class restaurants and cuisine of every variety.
We'll steer you to outdoor adventures or urban experiences or a bit of both. From local designers, art galleries and superb sushi to exhilarating biking trails and shoreline paddles, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of spectacular nature and an upbeat urban scene. We'll reveal our favourite farmers' market, great places for morning coffee, pampering spas, tucked away patios, fun things for the kids and the many lively, ethnic festivals. It’s easy to explore this laid-back, friendly city and we can't wait to share our secrets with you.
For those planning an extended trip there is much to see beyond the city. The Okanagan Valley, dotted with lakes and orchards, has become well known for its award-winning wineries. Northern BC offers unspoiled wilderness and exceptional fishing and Vancouver Island is perfect for some quiet relaxation on pristine beaches.
Tonic Travel™ has extensive knowledge of this diverse province and will provide fresh ideas for daytrips as well as extended visits to other parts of British Columbia. With our local perspective you'll get the most out of your visit to this year-round destination.
