Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
Vancouver blends urban culture with jaw-dropping natural landscapes beautifully, and nowhere is this more clear than within Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Take a relaxing stroll beneath the shade of temperate rainforest, and soak up spectacular Capilano River views from the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge. The Treetops Adventure course connects seven viewing platforms to massive 1,300 year-old Douglas Fir trees. And for those who prefer the views from terra firma, take a stroll along the Living Forest Trail to learn the stories behind the forest’s native flora and fauna.
Granville Island Public Market
Granville Island wows food-lovers with its bustling public market, and the traders here serve up some of the best food and drink Vancouver has to offer. On top of that, the public market is brimming with creativity — with arts and crafts, galleries, live performances and more. Famously colorful, with a vibrant, West Coast vibe, Granville Island is a must-see destination. So go with the flow and enjoy this modern cultural hit!

Chinatown Vancouver
Vancouver is a wonderfully diverse place, with people and cultures from across the world rubbing shoulders happily. Chinatown Vancouver showcases this diversity beautifully, and with its bustling markets and busy streets it’s the largest Chinatown district in Canada. On your spin through this must-see neighbourhood, see the Chinese markets and coffeeshops, and admire the distinctly Eastern architectural designs. Chinatown Vancouver is also home to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden, an authentic 15th century-inspired haven of tranquility.
Canada Place
If sustainable architecture is of interest to you, your jaw will drop when you see the buildings of the Vancouver Convention Centre. Even though the original East Building at Canada Place is an impressive sight on it's own, the West Building, constructed in 2002, is of a design that will inspire the environmentalist in everyone. You may notice the "living roof" covered in vegetation, but what you won't see is that the building's waste water is treated and recycled for irrigation of the roof. You also won't be able to see the building's LEED Platinum certification in sustainable design, or the building's PowerSmart designation, or it's GO GREEN certification for environmental best practices, but they are indeed all there!
Gastown
For Vancouver’s 19th-century settlers, Gastown is where it all began. This historic neighbourhood boasts cobblestone streets lined with hip boutiques, inviting restaurants and traditional First Nations art galleries — and has been entertaining residents and visitors alike for over a century. During your spin through Gastown, your knowledgeable guide shares insight into the area's history and contemporary influence.
