Experience an urban oasis with Vancouver vacation rentals

Vacation rentals will let you make the most of your holiday in Vancouver. British Columbia's largest city and one of the world's hidden urban gems, Vancity's a place where you'll never be bored. The city's home to chic shops, galleries, museums, and live performance venues. It also has vast parks and green spaces where you can go hiking, biking, or picnicking. You can work on your tan at the beach in summer and ski in winter. And if you're a pop culture junkie, you'll want to get your autograph book ready – you can regularly spot big-name stars shooting in "Hollywood North."

History

Uncover Vancouver's history from your vacation rental

By western accounts, Vancouver's official chronicle begins only in the 1770s when Spanish and British explorers – including the city's namesake Captain George Vancouver – passed through its waters searching for the Northwestern Passage. But if you ask the First Nations people, they'll say they've been there 10,000 years before the explorers came. You can certainly feel their presence in totem-poled Stanley Park, once home to many First Nations villages. To get a feel for how Vancouver really started, stroll around Gastown, where an enterprising Englishman named John "Gassy Jack" Deighton built Globe Saloon, the tavern around which the city grew.

Food & drink

Vancouver, BC: a seafood lover's paradise

Vancouver's a coastal city, so it's no surprise that many of its eateries serve up seafood. While the offerings are rich, and the preparatins are fabulously scrumptious, nothing beats dining on fresh seafood in restaurants with amazing views of the sea and the mountains just outside the city's borders. If you've got a global palate, you'll enjoy exploring the multi-ethnic eateries in neighbourhoods like Chinatown and South Vancouver. Not to miss, of course, are the classic fish-and-chips from any stall at Granville Island Public Market and the craft beers from Main Street pubs in historic Gastown.
