Description
This second edition of the Vancouver and Victoria Colourguide is written by expert local contributors who know their city. Every chapter has been fully revised and updated. The 300+ colour photographs accompanying the text show visitors what they'll see in as they explore Vancouver's distinctive neighbourhoods, including the downtown area, the once-rowdy Gastown, Chinatown, Granville Island, Kitsilano, and the spectacular North Shore.
In this edition there is an expanded section on Whistler, co-host of the 2010 Winter Olympics with Vancouver. There is also an extensive section on Victoria and its many attractions.
Detailed listings give full website locations and email addresses, as well as phone numbers and street locations. This book is a reliable, handy-sized companion for a trip and a wonderful souvenir of a beautiful destination.

Editorial Reviews
"...the strength of these guides lies in the colour photography and heavily detailed copy in the Top Attractions, Neighbourhoods, and History sections."
