Vancouver Winter Olympics
Vancouver, British Columbia is an ideal location for the Olympic Winter Games. It is a major metropolitan area with significant infrastructure, close to world-class mountains and in a country that loves winter sports. The city’s international culture embodies strong elements from both the East and West.
Another feature of this location is its proximity to the United States. Situated approximately 40 miles from the US/Canada border, Vancouver will be easy to reach by land. You may wish to consider rail travel as a relaxing and affordable method to travel to the Games. Given the elevated demand for airline seats into Vancouver around the time of the Olympics, a land alternative may be the most enjoyable way to get to Vancouver.
