Winter Olympics Vancouver

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 21 Winter Olympic Games February 12 to 28 Host, 2010. Followed by the Paralympic Winter Games from March 12 to 21, 2010. Events take place in and around Vancouver to take, and in the resort of Whistler, about 100 km north. There are several characteristics of Vancouver that makes it different from all previous Olympic venues. Firstly, it is the largest city ever Olympic Winter Games. Secondly, it will almost certainly be the warmest average temperature in February from 4 to 8 degrees Celsius. Thirdly, some of the locations below or near sea level, which is very rare for a Winter Olympics site.

Even if you rather be able to get a good value ticket to another Canadian airport at the time of the Olympics, you’ll face a long journey. For example, the nearest city, Calgary, he makes about 10-11 hours to Vancouver.
