British Columbia

British Columbia has few rivals in the world as a place that combines urban with natural beauty. Its two major cities – Vancouver and Victoria – would alone warrant a visit to Canada’s westernmost province. Add to that the myriad outdoor activities available both inland and along the coast – including hiking, skiing, mountain biking, and whale watching – and you have one of North America’s most exciting destinations.
