food scene with one of the<br />
many restaurants lining the<br />
Vancouver streets. The city<br />

to leave the province due to<br />
complex liquor legislation.<br />

will be packed with British<br />
Columbia VQA wines from various wine regions for<br />
you to sample.<br />
As for getting around, the best way to fully<br />
experience the Canadian Rockies has to be by<br />
train. The Rocky Mountaineer offers a luxurious<br />
and sleek mode of transport for you to witness the<br />
breath-taking scenery surrounding you. Offering<br />
panoramic views and world-class service, the train<br />
boasts full glass-dome windows and an outdoor<br />
viewing area, perfect for traversing the rugged<br />
landscape of Canada.<br />
Hiring a car is also an option, with picturesque<br />
highways paving a challenging but satisfying trail<br />
through the best of the Rockies. Make sure to<br />
prepare for the weather and pack plenty of extra<br />
supplies if you choose this option, though.<br />
Whether you choose to traverse Western Canada<br />
by rail or by road, there’s so much to see and do<br />
that you’ll be planning your return visit before your<br />
plane home leaves the runway.
