    Vancouver, Canada is a very beautiful city. In my particular opinion, the weather is great, with very defined four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Two sights that are a 'must-see' are Standley Park, World of Science, and the Capilano Suspension Bridge. A drive along the coastline also provides great views.
