This review is from: Fodor's Vancouver & Victoria, 2nd Edition: with Whistler, Vancouver Island & the Okanagan Valley (Full-color Travel Guide) (Paperback)

"Vancouver & Victoria In Full Color" is Fodor's most recently published (2010) guide to Vancouver, Canada's big, cosmopolitan city on the Pacific Coast; along with Victoria, capital of the Canadian province of British Columbia; the outlying mountain resort community of Whistler; and the wine-growing region of the Okanagan Valley.

Fodor's "In Full Color' guides feature lots of color photography and numberous maps and street graphics. This guide offers articles on the background, flavor, and attractions of Vancouver and Victoria, along with lots of practical information on what to see, and where to eat and stay. Other chapters cover side trips such as Whistler and the Okanagan Valley. The information for attractions, accomodations, and eats usually include website for further exploration. As always, this Fodor's guide included useful information on how to get to and around Vancouver.

"Fodor's Vancouver & Victoria, 2nd Edition" is one-stop shopping for planning a vacation to the area, and is highly recommended to would-be travelers to an exciting part of Canada.
