By Natasha Jervis: Located on the Pacific Rim, the City of Vancouver sits between the sea and the mountains. Visitors can enjoy the great outdoors, while also experiencing the city’s cosmopolitan vibe. Don’t miss a visit to Capilano Bridge, or Grouse Mountain where you can take breath taking panoramic photos. Nature enthusiasts love exploring Stanley Park or the Vandusen Gardens. If you’re visiting in the summer, then head to English Bay or Kitsilano Beach for some beach volleyball, and awesome views of the mountains. History lovers should take a walk through ancient Gastown and see where Vancouver began, or visit the city’s world famous Chinatown. Adrenaline junkie? Then climb up the Grouse Grind, or take a helicopter ride above the North Shore Mountains. If you’re hungry and you have a little money to spend, then try out the succulent lobster, or juicy T-bone steak at Blue Water Café. Stay in the Opus Hotel in Yaletown if you’re looking for a trendy hotel and area. Choose the West End area for an easy, laid back stay in the city. Hit the Granville Entertainment District if you feel like a night on the town. Mingle with local Vancouverites and party on! Go! |
