Vancouver is a city full of diverse attractions that cater to all types of interests, from nature lovers to urban explorers. A must-see is Stanley Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America, where you can enjoy walking, biking, or rollerblading along the Seawall while taking in views of the ocean, mountains, and the city skyline. The park is also home to the famous Totem Poles, the Vancouver Aquarium, and lush gardens that make it a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
For panoramic views of the entire city, take a ride up Grouse Mountain, where you can enjoy outdoor activities in both summer and winter, from hiking and zip-lining to skiing and snowboarding.

Known for its public market, artisan shops, galleries, and theatres, this area provides a perfect blend of local food, arts, and entertainment. Another key cultural spot is Kitsilano Beach, where you can soak up the sun, swim, or play beach volleyball with the backdrop of the mountains and city skyline.
For those who enjoy shopping and dining, head to Robson Street, a lively area filled with boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. Additionally, the Capilano Suspension Bridge offers a thrilling experience as you walk through the towering trees of the rainforest on a high suspension bridge, while the nearby Lynn Canyon Park is perfect for a peaceful nature walk.
