5.0 out of 5 stars You will feel like an insider, May 22, 1999

By A Customer

This travel book is very good and easy to read. It covers basically all the major attractions in Vancouver and it even gives you a list of the top ten activities not to miss. For every single attraction, you will find detailed description on how to get there (either by car or by taking the public bus), the admission fee, hours of service, and a phone number. The book includes about ten maps that are absolutely great. You will also find the information on restaurants very useful. They organize them by location, by cuisine, and by price range. This book is a great travel planner you will like to read before visiting Vancouver. And, do not forget to bring your umbrella and your rain jacket!
