Well, actually you are in Richmond – one of the many municipalities that make up the region of Greater Vancouver. Step out and explore some of these areas that are close to the City of Vancouver, all within an interesting radius from a few minutes up to 1 hour drive from Downtown Vancouver.

From North to South, East to West (okay not too far west since that would drop you right into the Pacific Ocean) you can find all kinds of surprises and hidden delights.
