A colourful keepsake highlighting some of Vancouver’s most scenic landmarks.
From the pristine beauty of its natural surroundings to its glass-towered skyline, Vancouver is a city unlike any other. As Canada’s gateway to the Pacific, this bustling metropolis supports a busy seaport, a thriving green economy, and the nation’s most ethnically diverse population. Join seasoned photographer Al Harvey as he showcases the spirit and energy of Vancouver, with its majestic mountains, sparkling shorelines, and world-class cultural amenities. From Jericho Beach to the market at Granville Island to the Grouse Mountain Skyride, this compact guide covers the top attractions that make Vancouver a coveted destination for millions of visitors each year.
