Spotlight on Vancouver

With the colder weather starting to lift, it is a wonderful time to start planning your trip to Vancouver, a paradise for the outdoorsy type with a plethora of adventures. 

Take your pick from hiking in the lush forests to kayaking in the clear waters, cycle around Stanley Park, chill at one of the city centre beaches, or head just outside the city, where the Capilano Suspension Bridge sways over a lush rainforest, offering an exhilarating walk amidst the treetops. 

 There is plenty to do indoors too with craft breweries, great restaurants, galleries and museums, and lots of live events throughout the year. 

Explore your relationship with the sea at Vancouver Maritime Museum, the iconic oceanic museum with its model ships, an extensive collection of maritime art, retired vessels, a huge library, and archives. Here you can see the NASA undersea research vessel Ben Franklin, and the boiler of the SS Beaver too! Get your tickets here -

For music lovers, there is always something on in Vancouver from Billie Eilish to Billy Idol, Norah Jones to The Rolling Stones.  You can also see the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Arrival from Sweden: The Music of ABBA live at Orpheum Theatre this May.
