Seven Former Olympic Cities Worth a Visit

Canada’s scenic west coast city was home to the games in 2010, but it’s a wonder it didn’t host sooner: Vancouver has some of the world’s best skiing, at nearby resort Whistler. The city itself is comparatively mild, so after showing off your tricks on the slopes, only 90 minutes away, spend the afternoon strolling city beaches or hiking through lush forest. Craving more icy fun? Thanks to the Canadian obsession with hockey, skating rinks are on-tap throughout the city centre.
