Best Things to do in Vancouver
Best Things to do in Vancouver: The time for circling the wagons is over; let’s get started. The top activities in Vancouver, one of the most liveable cities in the world, are listed here.
The western Canadian metropolis is an example of urban architecture constructed on the pillars of a town, and it checks off box after box. The top attractions in Vancouver are influenced by both its past and its present, with futuristic museums tucked beside famous neighbourhoods and mountains in every direction. The list goes on and on and includes parks, beaches, eateries, pubs, and spas, but we’ve grown to expect that from Vancouver.
Stanley Park
It’s what:
- There are beaches, an aquarium, playgrounds, a pool and splash park, botanical gardens, a golf course, 17 tennis courts, and many more attractions in this 1,000-acre must-see park.
Why go:
- You could easily spend a day inside the park’s boundaries with everything it has to offer.
- Try biking the Seawall on the outside, or go inside to explore the 40 miles of paths that wind among ferns and centuries-old cedars.
- Beavers, raccoons, great blue herons, bald eagles, coyotes, and occasionally even whales should be observed. Ride the well-known Ghost Train in the fall for a frightening Halloween adventure.
Granville Island
It’s what:
- This old waterfront industrial site, which was renovated in the 1970s and is technically a peninsula rather than an island.
- It is now home to a public market, food stores, restaurants, artist studios and galleries, retail stores, and a welcoming green area.
Why go:
- Spend the afternoon on the island by taking a sweet small Aquabus.
- Everything from confections to cheeses to bread to meats can be found in the huge public market.
- Pick up a few things and have a picnic next to False Creek, or treat yourself at the market’s food court, which is stocking with delectable regional fare.
