One of Canada's most amazing cities, with fantastic cuisine, rich culture, and breathtaking landscape is Vancouver.

Granville Island, Vancouver's creative neighborhood, is a must-see for every visitor. It's oddly shaped like a peninsula instead of an island. In what was once a center for industrial production, wealthy Vancouverites and visitors now gather to shop for organic food, drink expensive teas, taste exquisite chocolate, listen to buskers and watch elegant boats sail up to the dock.
Since Emily Carr University of Art and Design is located on Granville Island, it's easy to understand why the neighborhood is so popular among local creatives. In addition to several art galleries and exhibitions featuring the work of emerging student artists, the area is also home to numerous workshops for crafts like glassblowing and jewelry making.
