Vancouver is a popular vacation destination. It's located in the southwest corner of British Columbia, Canada. From its magnificent mountains to its ocean views, visitors flock to Vancouver to take advantage of the city's year-around mild temperatures. Vancouver has a lot to offer travelers in the winter season. In 2010, it hosted the Winter Olympics and Paralympics Games. A number of hotels have winter specials to make staying in Vancouver more affordable.
