10 Must-See Sites in Vancouver and Victoria

Take a trip out west and explore the stunning arts, culture and natural attractions that Vancouver and Victoria have to offer.

From Top 10 Vancouver & Victoria by DK Publishing

1. Whistler

The 75-mile (120-km) drive to Whistler from Vancouver reveals stunning scenery, a combination of Howe Sound’s sparkling blue waters and the majestic snow-covered Coast Mountain range. Welcoming more than two million visitors each year, the side-by-side peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains are magnificent. A year-round resort, Whistler has hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. While the resort is known for its exemplary accommodations and over 90 restaurants and 200 shops, it still preserves natural enclaves of forests and five lakes.

    And Don't forget the Beautiful Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay, near Victoria, BC. Fifty-five acres of stunning floral show gardens and a National Historic Site of Canada. Also close to the home of Vantreight Farms, a long time established family farm growing Daffodils which is responsible for most of the daffodils sold to the Cancer Society.
