Perfect little GUIDEBOOK
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
We just returned last night from Vancouver, where this handy little guide was in my pocket at all times. We had just a week in this delicious city, so the "best of the best" was a great concept. Map in the back was incomplete for the city that we explored, but in terms of the things not to miss, it was just perfect.
Vancouver for the tourist....

"Top Ten Vancouver" is in the familiar and very useful DK format, with lots of useful information in a compact format for the tourist. In just over 120 pages, "Top Ten" covers the most popular tourist attractions in Vancouver, such as Stanley Park, Canada Place, the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and a variety of museums and other parks. The guide includes pictures, details about each attraction, and maps showing how to get there. As noted, the focus is on the most popular destinations. The guide includes useful information on reaching the city and where to stay, eat, and shop. The information addresses cautions on crime and traffic. The traveler seeking more choices and details on accomodations should consult some of the most expansive guides such as Fedor's, Frommer's, or Lonely Planet. The compact size of this DK guide makes it perfect for roaming Vancouver. A limited amount of information is provided on the City of Victoria, on Vancouver Island across the Strait of Georgia and reachable by ferry. This guide is highly recommended for the traveler planning a vacation in Vancouver.
Good on Vancouver, slim on Victoria

Great book for the highlights of Vancouver, but don't buy it thinking it will have much about Victoria or Vancouver Island. Get the Frommer's book on Vancouver Island for that. Happy whale watching!

This Top Ten collection is really good for summarizing everything you need to know about a place, and if you do not stay too long it is not worth buying the bigger more detailed more expensive guide!!! Definetely worth the money...Took more than a week to arrive though.

I am a huge fan of the Top 10 travel guides, the size is perfect for a purse or small day pack and the information is useful. I tend to buy a small guide to carry around and a bigger one such as lonely planet that has more indepth information, but this trip I didn't use the lonely planet that much and stuck with this one most of the time, although I suppose it helped that I was visiting someone who lives in Vancouver. I highly recommend this top 10 guide.
