Revised and expanded for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, this engaging travel guide includes even more hidden hotels, gourmet restaurants, trendy nightspots, exotic excursions, and little-known, off-the-beaten-path Vancouver finds. Places and activities that will appeal to all types of travelers are covered, from outdoor adventurers in search of kayaking, cycling, and bird-watching to culture devotees who will relish the Museum of Anthropology and aboriginal art. Local customs of blackberry picking and raccoon watching complement travel listings about the ultra-chic Yaletown restaurants, the Punjabi market, the vintage clothiers on Main Street, and the ferryboat to Granville Island, making this the perfect Vancouver companion for long-time locals, Olympics enthusiasts, and casual vacationers alike.
