Things to do in Vancouver

Stanley Park

The park is huge and peaceful, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely walk or an afternoon picnic. Stanley Park is full of trees and surrounded on three sides by Vancouver Harbour. It offers some of the best views of the skyline, harbour, and mountains in the city.

Gastown

Gastown is the oldest neighbourhood in Vancouver. Its cobblestone streets, pretty Victorian houses, and old-fashioned lamp posts give it a very different feel to the rest of the city. Gastown is scenic and photogenic and has also become one of the trendiest areas of Vancouver. It’s full of nice boutiques, cool bars, and some of the city’s best food.

Granville Island

Granville Island is located just south of the Downtown peninsula and was once home to factories. Today, it’s a trendy part of Vancouver full of great restaurants and cafes. Granville Island also has a large Public Market that’s open every day. The market is full of vendors selling food, crafts, and souvenirs.

Capilano Suspension Bridge

Capilano is a neighbourhood north of Stanley Park and is home to the popular Capilano Suspension Bridge. The bridge spans the Capilano River through tall evergreen trees. The suspension bridge sits 70 metres above the river and is 140 metres long. Tickets for the bridge are normally $47 for adults and $35 for students. But if you visit after 5PM, you can get a 30% twilight discount.

English Bay Beach

Beaches probably aren’t the first thing that come to mind when you think of Canada. But Vancouver actually has a beautiful beach right on the edge of Downtown! If you book flights Sydney to Vancouver in the summer, English Bay Beach is the perfect spot to spend some time. The beach has views of the mountains, and you can rent kayaks to take out on the bay. If you visit the beach in the spring and summer months, you may even spot some whales as they pass through the Vancouver area!

Go for a Hike

Vancouver is surrounded by several beautiful mountains and mountain ranges. Head outside of Downtown Vancouver for some of the most amazing hikes and beautiful nature you could imagine. A popular hike just outside of Vancouver is called the Grouse Grind. It’s referred to as “Mother Nature’s Stairmaster” and is a challenging hike made up of 2,830 steps up the Grouse Mountain. The hike is tough, but once you reach the summit, the views of the city, harbour, and mountains will make it all worth it.

Head to Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver for a different suspension bridge experience and some nice hikes. The free suspension bridge has some amazing views of the canyon and the Twin Falls waterfall. Along with the bridge, Lynn Canyon Park is full of some extremely green and peaceful hikes. Close by in North Vancouver is another great hike at Quarry Rock. From there, you can see views of the harbour and some gorgeous waterfalls. North Vancouver is easily accessible from the city centre by public transport.

If you’d like to see more of British Columbia, rent a car for the day and check out some of the hikes outside of Vancouver. North of the city, Joffre Lakes Provincial Park has lots of different hikes. These hikes offer beautiful views of the large lakes and the glacier-topped mountains that surround the park. From Joffre Lakes, you can easily head over to Whistler—a resort town surrounded by lakes and mountains. Whistler has lots of different hikes to choose from, such as the scenic trail around Garibaldi Lake.

Queen Elizabeth Park

Queen Elizabeth Park is the highest point in Vancouver, which makes for some pretty great views of the Vancouver skyline and the mountains behind it. The park is located south of Downtown in Central Vancouver. Queen Elizabeth Park is made up of beautiful gardens and is home to the Bloedel Conservatory, which is full of exotic birds and plants.
