Gorgeously situated between the mountains and the coast, Vancouver is a diverse international city that has a lively downtown, terrific neighborhoods, easily accessible natural playgrounds all year round, and a thriving economy. Improvements recently made to the city to accommodate the Olympics made it even more appealing – it’s Canada’s most walkable city.
Vancouver is served by TransLink, the extensive bus network, SkyTrain, the light rail system, and on the water, by a network of ferries. Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey, in the south east have SkyTrain service, making them commuter friendly if you work downtown, and bus service runs to North or West Vancouver. The Pacific Northwest weather means easy biking is seasonal, but Vancouver is adding more and more bike lanes for those who choose to bike.
Most errands can be accomplished on foot.
Vancouver is the most walkable large city in Canada with 603,502 residents.
Vancouver has excellent public transportation and is very bikeable.
Find apartments in Vancouver's most walkable neighborhoods: West End, Fairview and Strathcona.

Bike to the foot of South Cambie Street, cross West Kent and start your way onto the lower deck of the Skytrain bridge, over the Fraser river, which will take you to Richmond in no time. Fabulous views of the sunset, some tuck boats dragging loggs, no cars, just you, the smooth surface of the road and the timed (and tamed) sound of the Skytrain above you. To be done. Especially at night.

Beautiful Devonian Harbour Park pond, caught with a rainbow, during the few non-raining minutes of the weekend.
