There are many attractive things about the city of Vancouver, it has been claimed.

People booking Air Transat flights to Vancouver could find they are in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, according to one publication.

Liverpool Confidential reports that the location, which is situated between the Coast Mountains and the Strait of Georgia, often makes the top ten in lists for this category.

The news provider describes Stanley Park, which is near the centre of the city, as the "ultimate urban retreat".

Here, visitors can find people skating, walking and cycling along the coast and through the neighbouring woods.

Vancouver Island is also recommended by the source if individuals want to get away from the city and its lively night life.

It is perfect for "paradisical beaches, whale watching and kayak trips go to Tofino and Ucluelet on the west coast", it stated.

If holidaymakers are searching for something a little more adventurous, they could follow the advice of the Edmonton Journal and try Cliffhanger, which is a series of suspended walkways that wind though the forest near the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
