Lonely Planet offers new Vancouver guide
OAKLAND, Calif. — A new guide to Vancouver is just out from Lonely Planet’s pocket-sized Encounter series.
The $15 paperback comes with a detachable map and a section on the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
Among the area highlights described in the guide are Stanley Park, artsy Granville Island, Gastown bars, West Side beaches, the annual Bard on the Beach (Shakespeare) festival, and South Main Street’s (SoMa) hipster shops.
Other new titles out this fall in Lonely Planet’s Encounter series are “Washington,” ”Goa Beaches” and “Napa & Sonoma.”
The publisher has also just released an updated fourth edition of its guidebook to British Columbia and the Yukon Territory with sections on Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Whistler.
