Begin your Vancouver adventure at Stanley Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America. Take a 2-hour guided tour with the Stanley Park Horse-Drawn Tours, or rent a bike to explore the park's picturesque seawall. Visit Vancouver Aquarium to see marine life up close or enjoy a scenic stroll at Lost Lagoon. End the day at Treetop Adventure where you can zip line and climb in an outdoor adventure playground.
Start the day at Gastown, Vancouver's oldest neighborhood, and visit the famous Steam Clock that plays chimes every 15 minutes. Walk along Robson Street, a popular shopping and dining destination. Visit the historic Chinatown for a cultural immersion and refreshments at a tea house. End the day in Grouse Mountain where you can go skiing, snowshoeing, or view the city skyline at the Top of Vancouver Observation Deck.
Visit Granville Island and see local artists' work at the Granville Island Public Market. Take a short walk to the H. R. MacMillan Space Centre and learn about astronomy and space science. Head to the nearby Kitsilano Beach for a relaxing afternoon, or take part in water activities such as kayaking and windsurfing.
If you have more time, visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, a 10-minute drive from Stanley Park, or take a day trip to Whistler, a two-hour drive from Vancouver. For food enthusiasts, try Japadog for Japanese-style hot dogs or Miku Restaurant for sushi. If you have less time, just visit Stanley Park and take a bike ride along the seawall, or spend a day at Granville Island and enjoy the public market and H. R. MacMillan Space Centre.
