Stanley Park is one of the biggest city park in the world, with the best beaches around including English Beach. Take a walk around the sea wall or visit the Vancouver Aquarium. This is the best park.
Next, a trip to the Aquarium was incredibly enjoyable as I find aquatic animals very fascinating! For thrill-seekers, try the 4D experience! It’s exhilarating!
Great place to learn about everything from bugs to static electricity.
Next up, a stroll through historic Chinatown where I grew up! There are open markets, unique clothing boutiques, tea shops, and much more to see.
One of the first traditional Chinese gardens built outside of China. Both the garden and the adjacent Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park are worth visiting. Read more.
From the market, to the brewery, to the restaurants, and the kids park, a truly fantastic place. Take the water taxi to access from the east side of False Creek or Science World. Read more.
A beautiful tropical paradise in the midst of Queen Elizabeth Park. Read more.
Place = amazing. I fear heights, but other than 1st time across bridge, I didn't even flinch.More awestruck by the beauty.Definitely do the bridge, the Treetops Adventure AND the Cliffwalk.
If you made it as far as Capilano Suspension Bridge - you may as well pop up for the view of the Cleveland Dam....another spectacular Vancouver Site...
If you're here for dinner, make sure to come back for brunch and to try their brioche French Toast with Maple Blueberry Compote.
Uva Wine Bar on this inviting corner of the Moda Hotel not only offers shaken cocktails and sips of wine, but breakfast. The city offers few places for a morning bite so stop in for eggs and espresso.
Must try: risotto. Ingredients are seasonal, but every version divine. (Chanterelles, thyme & mascarpone is our favourite.)
Tourists best know Konbiniya Japan Centre as the "Pocky Store" - perhaps because of the large box of Pocky on their storefront. Drop in at this hipster Robson Street retailer for snacks from Japan. Read more.
Keefer Fizz - Gin, Lavender, Lemongrass, Lemon, Egg White, Floral Tincture. Simply Amazing & Delicious. Exceptional Atmosphere. Read more.
When you're done posing and joking about how the picture's "not really low-res" Take some time to stroll the beach and appreciate all the beautiful architecture welcomed by the olympics!!
