Vancouver stands out above all for the quality of life it affords: in spite of its size (with 600,000 inhabitants, it is the third biggest city in Canada), the city manages to preserve a pleasant atmosphere, not to mention a mild climate, that many other cities envy. The city has a very modern aspect since its rather confined area led to the appearance of many skyscrapers in order to optimise space. ...

This multicultural city boasts a mixture of modern architecture and large green spaces like Stanley Park.
