Things to do in Vancouver

Vancouver sits on a peninsula between the ocean and the Coast Mountains, so the snowy peaks of the North Shore are in view from almost every downtown street. The seawall loops around Stanley Park, the sail-like roof of Canada Place marks the cruise port, and neighbourhoods like Gastown and Granville Island are made for wandering.

Cross the harbour and you are quickly among giant Douglas firs and cedars: the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park strings walkways over a canyon and through the treetops. Back at Canada Place, FlyOver Canada takes you on a simulated flight across the whole country in a few minutes.
