Description

A stunning visual odyssey through Canada's most beautiful city.

Nestled on the edge of the Pacific Ocean and cradled by the Coast Mountains, Vancouver is a breathtaking blend of stunning scenery and vibrant urbanity. Considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Vancouver is a place where old-growth forests meet innovative modern architecture, and where world-class culture intersects with glorious beaches. Every year, millions of visitors flock to Canada's third-largest city to enjoy the shops and restaurants of Vancouver's stylish downtown core and to ski, swim, hike and bike in its natural playground.

In Vancouver. A Visual Portrait, Canada's most celebrated photographers capture the sights that make Vancouver unique, among them:

  • The Lion's Gate Bridge
  • Stanley Park
  • Vancouver Art Gallery
  • Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
  • Capilano Suspension Bridge
  • Granville Island
  • Grouse Mountain
  • Wreck Beach.

Readers will experience Vancouver, from its most famous sites to the little-known spots that the locals cherish, through the large-scale photographs and informative captions of Vancouver. A Visual Portrait.
