Things To Do
Stanley Park
Vancouver's answer to Central Park. A stunning drive, bike, or walk with wraparound views of the entire city, including downtown, the beaches, the Lions Gate Bridge, and the North Shore mountains. This is a must-do.
Capilano Suspension Bridge
One of the city's most popular tourist attractions. This historic suspension bridge offers an immersive nature experience in West Vancouver and includes admission to additional attractions, including a tree catwalk. Acrophobes beware!
Gastown
Where it all began! Vancouver's historic Gastown, lined with cobble-stoned streets, is now the city's hippest neighborhood with the hottest boutiques and restaurants. Don't forget to stop by the original steam clock and give Gassy Jack a high-five!
Pacific Centre Mall
Vancouver's main shopping mall in central downtown. A beautiful indoor shopping experience connecting boutiques with larger department stores including Canada's own Hudson's Bay and Holt Renfrew.
Canada Place
One of the most iconic spots in the city, Canada Place is a great spot to experience the heart of Vancouver's waterfront. This is the official cruise port for all ships traveling to Alaska. It's also home to the Fly Over Canada experience. Lastly, it's the best spot to watch Seaplanes land in the harbor.
Olympic Cauldron
Vancouver played host to the 2010 Winter Olympics, one of the most successful in the history of the Games. Walk from Canada Place along the water towards Stanley Park and you will find the majestic Olympic Cauldron.
Vancouver SeaBus
Vancouver's own Staten Island Ferry. Enjoy sweeping views of the city skyline for the price of a bus ticket. This short ride will take you from downtown Waterfront Station to North Vancouver where you can take a stunning walk along the northern shore, visit local art galleries, and shop at Lonsdale Quay.
Granville Island
This unique island located underneath the Granville Bridge is a great place to explore for an afternoon. Home to the world famous Granville Island Market, where local chefs shop. Features a great array of Pacific Northwestern cuisine and more. The Island is also home to many local artisans, theater companies, and first class restaurants. This DUMBO style neighborhood is sure to wow!
Vancouver Art Gallery
Art Gallery in central downtown featuring international and local exhibits. Stop by to see one of the largest collections of Pacific Northwestern art, including an entire gallery devoted to local legend Emily Carr.
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
A serene cultural heritage site amid the bustle of urban life in Vancouver. Escape to another time and place at one of the largest Chinese gardens outside of China.
PARQ Casino
The only casino in Metro Vancouver, this brand-new beautiful casino features table and electronic gaming, two hotels, multiple restaurants, and even an outdoor rooftop park. Feeling lucky?
Museum of Anthropology
Situated on a cliff overlooking the bay, this unique museum features one of the world's largest collections of totem poles and other artifacts from First Nations (Native Americans) tribes. A hidden gem and true Landon and Ellis favorite.
Burgoo
While Landon could go on and on about the food in his hometown, if he was really pressed for one recommendation, it would be Burgoo. Ellis and Landon make a pilgrimage to one of its locations every time they come to the city. Why you ask? Because it's home to the best comfort food dishes from across the globe. Our personal fave: the "After School Special" - grilled cheese and tomato soup. Trust us, you've never tasted one quite like this before!
Omnitsky Kosher
Looking for kosher? This gem in the heart of Vancouver's Jewish community has everything you need.
