Add a wrapper <div> around the content inside <body>. Give it the class 'container'.

    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Make sure your new div wraps around the entire body, including the footer.

The <div class="container"> goes right under the <body> tag. The </div> goes right above the </body> tag, and below the </footer> tag.

The original <div>, surrounding the <h2> and <p> elements stays as class="main".

    <body>
    <div class="container">
      <header>
        <h1>Best City Guide</h1>
      </header>

      <div class="main">
        <h2>Welcome!</h2>
        <p>Dessert toffee chocolate lollipop fruitcake cake sweet. Pudding cotton candy chocolate pudding liquorice jelly marzipan. Muffin gummies topping lollipop. Caramels chocolate cake donut liquorice.</p>
        <p>Cake sesame snaps sweet tart candy canes tiramisu I love oat cake chocolate bar. Jelly beans pastry brownie sugar plum pastry bear claw tiramisu tootsie roll.</p>
      </div>

      <footer>
        <p>&copy;2015 Residents of The Best City.</p>
      </footer>
    </div>
    </body>
