Vancouver - #1 City in the Americas
The reader?s of Condé Nast are among the savviest travellers on the globe. Their opinions are formed from years of experience travelling to cities around the world, from Albuquerque to Zurich. So that makes their decision to name Vancouver the best city in the Americas all the more satisfying. Editors of the seminal travel magazine tabulated its readers 30,000 votes, and Vancouver beat out rivals like Mexico City, Toronto and San Jose, Costa Rico.
Judging from its grand location on the sparkling shores of the Pacific, in the shadows of the lording Coast Mountains, there is little doubt why they voted for Vancouver. Clean, safe streets, friendly people and a wonderful collection of accommodation options all make for an unrivalled vacation destination. But don?t take their word for it; discover for yourself why Vancouver is the best city in the America?s!
