Unmissable Vancouver Experiences
Western Canada- Vancouver
Vancouver
A haven for outdoor pursuits and urban adventures
Framed by the Pacific Ocean and Coast Mountains, Vancouver is as culturally diverse as it is beautiful with lots to see and do.
In charming Gastown explore the historic cobblestone streets lined with handsome brick buildings and feel the heartbeat of creativity pulse through craft breweries and the iconic steam clock. Here also is the Vancouver Lookout which gives you a bird’ s eye views across the city.
Meander through Chinatown, a cultural oasis with rich history that buzzes with lively bars, cross-cultural eateries, traditional grocers and import shops. See also Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, modelled after a traditional garden from the Ming Dynasty.
Commercial Drive is one of the city’ s best and most colourful shopping, dining and nightlife hubs; Granville Street is the main entertainment district; and chic Yaletown has sidewalk cafés, cool restaurants, unique shopping and leafy parks. Bordering Yaletown is Robson Street, the city’ s best known shopping precinct.
West End is the gateway to lush Stanley Park. Featuring huge trees, ever-blooming gardens and the intricately carved Brockton Point Totem Poles, all encircled by a six-mile paved seawall, it’ s best explored on foot or bike. English Bay has one of the city’ s loveliest beaches plus great shopping and high-end dining, while Coal Harbour brims with sophisticated hotels, yacht-filled marinas and stunning sea-to-sky views.
A favourite with locals and visitors alike, Granville Island is a thriving centre of activity with a relaxed atmosphere and just a ferry ride across False Creek. The biggest attraction is the indoor public market, with seemingly endless rows of stalls of fresh produce and gourmet food.
When you tire of city crowds, North Shore is a perfect escape and just 15 minutes from the city’ s downtown core. Wobbly thrills await you at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, or at the vast alpine playground of Grouse Mountain, head up on the Skyride for stunning views.

Getting there: Non-stop flights from the UK to Vancouver take about 10 hours.
Best time to go: Vancouver has mild winters( January-March), so outdoor enthusiasts need not hibernate, although mountain slopes are about 20 minutes away. Spring is sunnier, summer( July-September) sees pleasant temperatures then, things cool down in autumn but the changing colours of the leaves make it a spectacular time to visit.
