5 Things Vancouver

Travel + Vancouver / February 05, 2010
It's hard to miss: The XXI Olympic Winter Games start on February 12th, and Vancouver is going to be packed with hoards of people looking lost and asking for directions.
Living in Toronto and working for Raincoast means that I'm a frequent visitor to Vancouver myself and I'm often completely lost and/or left looking for fun things to do when I have some downtime. So inspired by my own experiences and Lonely Planet’s Encounter guidebooks, I thought it would be great to get some insider travel tips for people going to the games.
Over the last week or so I've been emailing west coast authors, colleagues, friends and co-conspirators with 20 questions about Vancouver. I asked them to answer 5 of their choice, and starting today, I'm going to be posting their answers here for everyone to read before and during (and probably after!) the Olympics – and since Raincoast have refused to fly me business class to Vancouver for the games (I know! Total. Bust.), I am surreptitiously going to stick all the answers in my Vancouver City Notebook for next time I'm there!
Look for the "5 Things Vancouver" tag, and please let us know your favourite places in Vancouver in the comments – we'd love to hear from you!
