Whether you are planning to visit Vancouver as a tourist, or you are doing preliminary research about it as a potential permanent destination later in your life, Lonely Planet Vancouver sums it all up nicely for you. The first few pages do a great job of giving the newcomer a birdseye view of the city's composition, lifestyle, culture, etc. The book moves on to cover other aspects from dining to outdoors activities and much more in a detailed yet not overwhelming way.



The only shortcoming this guide (as well as other Lonely Planet books) has is a lack of more pictures, which other series such as DK's Eyewitness Travel Guides excel at. However the competing book about Vancouver in that series is nowhere near as comprehensive as this one.

I read reviews of the last version and the Lonely Planet people have really taken on board the feedback people gave. Its easy to read, VERY up to date and has some great additions. A great top 10 things to do in Vancouver, it details the top restaurants, good summaries of local areas etc. Its a brilliant overview and now we have our trip all maped out! Its well laid out and the use of color is helpful too. One of the best city guides I've seen.

The book contains a lot of information for sure. The thing is for a first time visitor it does not really provide a big help. Which things are a must to see? The book does not say. Instead the reader is forced to read each every section of the book because the book is divided into sections, each covering a part of the city.

All in all it is a bit disappointing.

Vancouver is a beautiful city to visit and the people are very nice. I was disappointed that this book was so outdated even the train fare is no longer $1.50. With so many tourist going to Vancouver LP might consider updating this guide more often.
And this book list "Hasting and Main st." as being a shady area, they should have been more informative and wrote "traveler should not walk pass these streets."
Description for places where too brief, lacked detail.

I went with my parents to Vancouver in August and we took along about five different guide books to the city. I checked out some of them but the one that I thought was by far the coolest was the Lonely Planet guide. The descriptions of places were right on target and you could tell that the writers really knew the city and how to get around it. I mean it was like they were walking along with us describing things and telling us where we should go. My parents came around to thinking that this was a pretty cool book too and by the end of our holiday it was the only one we took out with us.
