32. Vancouver, Canada

Vancouver greets you with mountains on one side and ocean on the other. Towering evergreens frame waterfront paths perfect for biking and strolls. The city’s blend of glass towers and leafy neighborhoods feels remarkably balanced. Granville Island’s markets overflow with fresh seafood, local produce, and artisan crafts. Grouse Mountain looms nearby, inviting you to ski in winter or hike lush trails in summer. Stanley Park’s seawall offers postcard views of skyline and sea. Indigenous art and cultural centers share stories of the land’s first peoples. Vancouver’s laid-back vibe and natural backdrop make it endlessly refreshing.
