Vancouver is a beautiful city to visit and the people are very nice. I was disappointed that this book was so outdated even the train fare is no longer $1.50. With so many tourist going to Vancouver LP might consider updating this guide more often.
And this book list "Hasting and Main st." as being a shady area, they should have been more informative and wrote "traveler should not walk pass these streets."
Description for places where too brief, lacked detail.

I bought 3 Vancouver travel books before vacationing in Vancouver. By far, this was the most practical. It was really helpful because it lists public transportation lines to get to recommended sites.

I went with my parents to Vancouver in August and we took along about five different guide books to the city. I checked out some of them but the one that I thought was by far the coolest was the Lonely Planet guide. The descriptions of places were right on target and you could tell that the writers really knew the city and how to get around it. I mean it was like they were walking along with us describing things and telling us where we should go. My parents came around to thinking that this was a pretty cool book too and by the end of our holiday it was the only one we took out with us.
