Only have time to do one thing in Vancouver? Cycle or stroll along the Stanley Park seawall, a paved 10km/6mi loop with magnificent mountain, ocean, forest and city views. While in Stanley Park, visit to the internationally-acclaimed Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, one of North America's five largest aquariums.
From downtown, hop on one of the small passenger ferries that look similar to bathtub toys as they cruise through False Creek to Granville Island, famous for its year-round indoor farmer's market, boutique micro-brewery, street buskers, artisan studios and live theatre.
Of course, every major city has a famous shopping and cruising strip; Vancouver's is Robson Street. Head here for the high fashion, trendy restaurants and bars, the coffee-shop culture and even a little star spotting; don't forget, this is the Hollywood of the North, and Robson Street is a favorite spot for visiting stars to shine.
And be sure to visit Commercial Drive. The neighbourhood of Commercial Drive is in the east end of the city, a short ten minutes by skytrain from downtown Vancouver. It is a glorious sight with all it's trees, character homes, wonderfully diverse people and the beautiful Grouse and Cypress mountains in the background. The Drive's community is represented by a vast array of cultural backgrounds. A large number of Vancouver's Gay & Lesbian community call "The Drive" their home. Commercial is also known for the many vegetarians and environmental activists. Authentic Italian coffee bars, fine dining, live music and theatre, art exhibits, and unique shopping, attract visitors from all over.
Turn this educational trip into an extended vacation and travel to the world famous Whistler Village and resort, home to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Whistler is Canada's premier, year-round destination.
For those outdoor enthusiasts Vancouver boasts some of the most beautiful surroundings to enjoy biking, sea kayaking & canoeing, hiking, skiing and snowboarding. No wonder the entire province is known as “Beautiful British Columbia”!
