Vancouver City Highlights

• For a perfect romantic getaway, walk in the VanDusen Botanical Garden, surrounded by 100s of Cherry Blossoms. Take a little detour to gasp at the natural landscape of Pacific Northwest rainforest surrounding the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Watch the sky change its colour from behind the Inukshuk statue at the Sunset Beach in the trendy West End neighbourhood. Watch the shimmering lights of Vancouver City over dinner at the famous Fraîche Restaurant.
• For some sporty adventures, rent a bike for a ride along the scenic Stanley Park Seawall on a paved pathway that runs along the park’s waterfront. Join in a game of sand volleyball at Kits Beach or Spanish Banks. Rent a board and challenge your windsurfing skills at Jericho Beach.
• Fancy some skiing, snowboarding, dog sledding, snowmobiling or snow tubing? North America’s largest ski resort, Whistler, is just right for you. Zip-line or hike your way through the Grouse Grind trail or Snowshoe Grind for a view of the city. You could also take a kayak excursion through the breath-taking glacier fjord of Indian Arm for deep blue waters and plenty of marine and mountain wildlife.
• To experience the Canadian culture, pack a picnic and head to the blooming gardens at Queen Elizabeth Park or to the waterfront green spaces at Stanley Park. All you art lovers can scrutinise the lively exhibits and pieces in the Vancouver Art Gallery. Don't forget to shop your way through over 450 stores in ‘Metropolis at Metrotown’-the largest shopping centre in British Columbia.
• Take an Edible Canada walking tour, led by a chef, through Granville Island Public Market or through the third largest Chinatown in North America.
• Travel down to Richmond to pay a visit to the famous Guan Yin Temple which attracts close to a quarter of a million visitors every year.
