It’s a city of fun that ignores season: in summer the busy 200-mile network of bike trails connects Mont Royal with downtown; in winter, locals put on skates and play open-air hockey all over town. Walk around the cobblestone historic core at Place Jacques-Cartier, then pop into a few downtown museums like the Musée des Beaux Arts or Centre Canadien d’Architecture (with a sculpture garden that is wonderfully illuminated at night). But devote time to seeing Montreal like the locals do – lingering long at cafes or bars or brasseries, particularly in the Plateau, a mile north of downtown. Finding a hotel is fun: century-old French Revival buildings downtown have become hotels, or you can find B&amp;Bs in the Quartier Latin, a short walk to the east. With a day or two to spare, head north, where the Laurentian Mountains loom, offering skiing in winter and hiking trails in summer.

    <triplocations name="Vancouver" description="Vancouver is consistently rated one of the most livable cities in the world, and it doesn't take visitors long to see why: the city enjoys a stunning natural setting, a mild climate (by Canadian standards), and a diverse, progressive, cosmopolitan population. It's been said that in Vancouver, you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon - and indeed, one of the best ways to experience the city is to get outdoors. Visitors can walk, bike, or jog in the enormous waterfront Stanley Park, ski the North Shore Mountains, indulge in almost any type of water sport on the city's Pacific shoreline, or lounge on its many beaches. The world-famous ski resort at Whistler, which will co-host the 2010 Winter Olympics with Vancouver, is within reach as well. After exhausting themselves outdoors, visitors can choose from the city's range of restaurants, where Vancouver's diversity - more than fifty percent of the population speaks a first language other than English - makes itself felt. Try Chinatown or the Punjabi Market to taste the city's cultural variety. Vancouver is also a great place to learn more about the aboriginal peoples of the Pacific Northwest at the University of British Columbia's renowned Museum of Anthropology.

    <triplocations name="Ottawa" description="While many come for business, Ottawa has plenty of pleasure to offer too. Canada's capital is a sparkling city lying between Montreal and Toronto, bridging eastern French-speaking Canada with the English-speaking West. Ottawa holds many festivals throughout the year, including the popular Chamber Music Festival that occurs every summer. Ottawa's National Gallery of Canada is an impressive example of architecture in itself, and it houses the best collection of Canadian art in the world; a massive sculpture of a spider by Louise Bourgeois hovers over visitors on the way in. A visit to Parliament Hill yields impressive architecture and shines a light on Ottawa's active political hand. Ottawa lies along the (who would have guessed) Ottawa River. The Rideau Canal, 202 km (126 miles) long, links the waters of Lake Ontario at Kingston with the Ottawa River and is Canada's first UNESCO Heritage site. Ottawa may be Canada's most surprising city. Catch a concert at Lansdowne Park, take a boat ride along the canal, and enjoy the thriving multicultural communities alongside some of the friendliest citizens a tourist could find.

But Canada's largest municipality is much more than some pale imitation of the Big Apple, as millions of visitors each year, including A-list Hollywood celebrities and shoestring backpackers, are discovering. Many visits begin at the city's most recognizable landmark, the CN Tower, which reigned as the world's tallest free-standing structure from 1975 until 2007. From there, visitors can wander the city's various ethnic and cultural enclaves: countercultural Kensington Market, Old Chinatown and East Chinatown, the trendy waterfront area known as The Beaches, artsy Riverdale, and always-popular Greektown, also known as The Danforth. Toronto also boasts a booming performing arts scene, several excellent museums, and a handful of major festivals including the Toronto International Film Festival, Pride Week, and Caribana. Sports fans can learn more about Canada's central passion at the Hockey Hall of Fame or at a Toronto Maple Leafs game.

In doing so, they cheat themselves out of the pleasure of visiting Chicago. New York and Los Angeles of course have their draws, but Chicago has a unique style all its own. This is first apparent in the city's architecture. The world's first skyscraper was built in downtown Chicago in 1885, and in the century that followed, many other innovative skyscrapers have been added to the city's skyline, such as the Sears Tower, the Chicago Tribune building, and the Marina City buildings. The 140-foot-tall ferris wheel on Navy Pier is also a fixture of the city's skyline, which stretches along Lake Michigan. One building that is particularly cherished by Chicago residents is Wrigley Field, one of America's classic baseball stadiums. The unique Chicago style is also apparent in the city's music scene. Fans still flock to Kingston Mines and other blues bars for a taste of the sound that made Chicago famous. Younger crowds might be more inclined to check out the city's thriving hip-hop scene or rock out in one of the many bars in the trendy Wicker Park neighborhood. Another way that Chicago sets itself apart from the cities on the coasts is its complete lack of pretension. While other cities are more known for their high-class dining, none can match Chicago when it comes to kicking back and enjoying a Polish sausage, a slice of deep-dish pizza, and a cold beer while watching a ball game or a blues band.

Locals as well as tourists line the lovely beaches for a variety of water sports including surfing, skin diving, scuba diving, wind surfing, and sailing. Some of the best waves in California are found at the various beaches which line the coast to the north, including Black's Beach.

Everyone talks about the touristy cable cars, but best are the restored historic street cars, rescued from garbage heaps, that commuters take along Market Street to downtown. Just north, past cute Chinatown, is North Beach’s beat (when not Italian) cafes and pasta shops, and famously crooked Lombard Street. To the west is Haight-Ashbury, a '60s leftover with tattoo parlors and record stores. Down the hill to the south, rainbow flags fly over the Castro, one of the nation’s most famous gay neighborhoods, home to the lush Castro Theatre, where an organ player introduces double features from yesteryear. The food is great everywhere, but don’t leave without getting a &quot;mission burrito&quot; in their place of origin, the Latin American/hipster Mission, where family run taquerías churn out the best $4 meal this country has to offer. Get views of the city from (touristy) Twin Peaks or (local favorite) Bernal Heights, where it’s tempting to linger and plot ways to move here." favorite="" full_name="San Francisco, California (CA), United States of America" googled_path="United-States-of-America/California-CA/San-Francisco" hidden="0" href="http://www.tripwolf.com/en/guide/show/5312/United-States-of-America/California-CA/San-Francisco" id="5312" inherited="0" is_poi="0" item_name="San Francisco, California (CA), United States of America" language="ENG" latitude="37.7831974274346" longitude="-122.434387207031" ltp_level="0" parents_name="California, USA" rating="5" recommended="" status_description="4" status_name="1" status_tags="0" status_teaser="2" teaser="A cultural melting pot in northern California that welcomes freaks and geeks alike.

    <triplocations name="Las Vegas" description="Have you seen Vegas lately? It’s no longer just a haven of greasy all-you-can-eat buffets, cheesy nostalgic acts, and slot machines. Well, all of that is still here, of course, but a new Vegas is starting to take over, with stylish restaurants from top New York chefs, Prince concerts, topless pools, new spa hotels, and a couple dozen golf courses added to the mix. Life in the desert has never been so stylish. Start with the Strip, perhaps riding the elevated rollercoaster at Stratosphere, browsing shops on the &quot;canals&quot; at the Venetian, or ducking into a casino like the Bellagio. Don’t overlook downtown’s seedier casino relics, Vegas’s roots, where you’ll see the famed cowboy-sign Vegas Vic along the (now covered) Fremont Street. Pay tribute to the King of Kitsch at the Liberace Museum, home to sequined capes and candelabras. When the glitz gets to be too much, get out of town. A few miles west, Red Rock Canyon has hiking trails and a 13-mile desert drive, or go south to Hoover Dam, where the Colorado River is impounded into Lake Mead. And don't worry if you miss your flight out – you can always play slots at the airport.

    <triplocations name="Seattle" description="Even though corporate giants Starbucks and Microsoft call Seattle home, this city in the Pacific Northwest has long been on the cutting edge of counterculture. Once dominated by grunge music and flannel shirts, the often rainy city on Puget Sound is overwhelmed with iconic mainstays of popular culture. The National Register of Historic Places lists more than 150 locations in the city, foremost among them the Space Needle, which rises 605 feet above the Seattle skyline. Don't miss Pike Place Market in the heart of town, where vendors toss yard-long fish into the air to great applause and small stands sell produce and flowers alongside cafes and brew pubs. Trendy bars, coffee shops, boutique hotels, Asian markets, and unusual attractions such as the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum make Seattle a neverending display of stimulation. For a different sort of view, walk to the docks and hop on a ferry into the Sound, north of the islands, or even all the way to Alaska.
