You rarely have to tell us twice, but now it’s a fact. Vancouver was just ranked as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

To come up with its list, Flight Network says it asked over a thousand travel writers, bloggers, and agencies from around the world.

In its ranking for Vancouver, Flight Centre calls the city an “amazing place to visit.”
