A brief introduction to Vancouver

Nestled against a beautiful mountainous backdrop, Vancouver is a feast for the eyes as it boasts lively neighbourhoods, diverse culinary delights, and a plethora of thrilling outdoor adventures.

Begin your trip by visiting one of Vancouver’s most vibrant areas - Gastown. Here, you will find a variety of dining experiences, including Vietnamese ‘banh mi’ sandwiches and seafood restaurants serving up freshly caught wild salmon and prawns. The Mount Pleasant neighbourhood is also a must-visit as it is home to many local gastropubs and breweries serving up refreshing craft beers and the region’s best IPAs.

Vancouver is also known for its world class museums and galleries, with some of the most popular being the VanDusen Botanical Gardens, Vancouver Art Gallery, and Science World. If you wish to enjoy uninterrupted views of the entire cityscape, we recommend visiting Vancouver Lookout - the highest point in the city at a towering 131 metres.

Nature enthusiasts will feel right at home in the North Shore Mountains as it is the ideal destination for hiking and winter sports, while also featuring some of Canada’s most renowned ski slopes. Whistler Blackcomb – the largest ski resort in North America – is situated just an hour’s drive from the city centre. After hitting the slopes, venture into picturesque Whistler Village to enjoy the many bars, restaurants, and shops in the area.

Those seeking some much-needed rest and relaxation should head to Stanley Park as it boasts plenty of walking trails and lush greenery that makes it the perfect location for a picnic. While here, be sure to also visit the 1,000-year-old Hollow Tree.
