Vancouver City Activities
Things to do in Vancouver
Canada Place
A building situated on the Burrard Inlet waterfront of Vancouver. It is the home of the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Pan Pacific Hotel, Vancouver's World Trade Centre, and the main cruise ship terminal.
Gastown
The historic Gastown area of Vancouver was named for a talkative Yorkshire-born gold prospector, riverboat captain, and saloon owner, John Deighton, nicknamed Gassy Jack. Gassy Jack showed up with a barrel of whiskey 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 the second most visited park in Vancouver and holds within its perimeters some of the most beautiful public gardens anywhere. Its recreational offerings are diverse ranging from sporty to horticultural and include golf, tennis, lawn bowling, disc golf, an extensive outdoor arboretum and the indoor Bloedel Floral Conservatory.
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.
