Vancouver
has a lot to offer.
From many beaches to world famous parks and mountains.
Here you will find many different options for what to do in
Vancouver.
Stanley Park
Stanley Park
is a world famous park with lakes, beaches, lawn bowling,
water park, children's zoo,
and many other activities to take in.
Plan on taking a whole day to see
Stanley Park.
Gastown
The Gastown area of
Vancouver
was named for a talkative
Yorkshire-born saloon owner, John Deighton,
nicknamed Gassy Jack.
Gassy Jack showed up with a barrel of
whisky on the south shore of
Burrard Inlet,
and told the mill
workers there they could have all the whiskey they could drink if
they helped him build his saloon-which they did. It only took 24 hours.
Granville Island
Granville Island tour
is the place to spend a leisurely afternoon.
Part farmers market, part artist
studio and part magnet for the creative and flamboyant-it's one
of the busiest spots in
Vancouver.
Queen Elizabeth Park
Queen Elizabeth Park is Canada's first civic
arboretum -
a botanical garden devoted to trees, a must-see in your
Vancouver dinner tour.
Lions Gate Bridge
Walk across the beautiful Lions Gate Bridge and
stop midway
for a bird's-eye view of
Burrard Inlet
and the North
Shore mountains.
The bridge was built and paid for by the
Guinness Brewing Company in order to give people access to the
North Shore and property owned by the
Guinness
family.
However, the BC government now owns the bridge.
For the Expo
'86 World's Fair that was held in Vancouver, the Guinness family donated money to decoratively light the
bridge in the evenings.
The lights still adorn the bridge today
and have become a romantic fixture of the
Vancouver
skyline. You will cross this bridge on your way to
Whistler.
