Kristen Stewart fell in love with Vancouver while she was shooting the 'Twilight' movies.

The 21-year-old actress - who recently finished filming the final scenes for the two 'Breaking Dawn' movies in the city and Squamish, British Columbia - admits it was a great experience to shoot in the Canadian city because it has so much natural beauty.

She said: "We shot most of the 'Twilight' series in Vancouver. I fell in love with it - it's such a beautiful city. I found the climate so different from what I'm used to in Los Angeles. The air is clean and fresh and there are beautiful mountain views everywhere. But I didn't get to go out as much as I would have liked."

Vancouver isn't the only place to have captured her heart during the filming of the vampire movie franchise.

Kristen - who is dating her co-star Robert Pattinson - also loved shooting the second movie in the series in Italy and she especially enjoyed the European country's food.

She explained to new! magazine: "When we shot 'Twilight: New Moon' in Italy, I tried all different kinds of pasta dishes - Alfredo, fettuccine with cream, basil and Romano cheese - and gnocchi with seafood. I suddenly took an interest in cooking. It was amazing! It's now my favourite cuisine."
