Must-do activity: Now that all the Olympics craziness has died down, Vancouver is a dream trip for being active and outdoorsy by day and chic, city girls by night. For a low-key hike, head to Stanley Park, or for more adventure, head to Whistler for skiing in the winter and biking in the summer. At night, the city has tons of high-end restaurants to choose from (sushi is a local favorite).

What to pack: Sneakers for day and stilettos for night. But since Vancouver has a laid-back, granola-y vibe, try one of these eco-friendly (a.k.a. no heat styling) hairstyles and you’ll fit right in.
