ATTRACTIONS & THINGS TO DO IN VANCOUVER, BC
From the iconic Stanley Park and must-visit attractions like Granville Island to unique neighbourhoods and sandy beaches, there is no shortage of fantastic sights to see in Vancouver. Take a look below at some of our favourite ways to experience this special city.
STANLEY PARK
Welcome to 405 hectares of trees, forest trails, and beaches in Vancouver’s famous Stanley Park, continuously named the most beautiful park in the world. Stroll around the scenic Lost Lagoon, hike through the woods, marvel at the Rose Gardens, go for a bicycle ride around the Seawall, or watch the sunset at Third Beach.
THE STANLEY PARK SEAWALL
Located around the water’s edge of Stanley Park, the century-old Seawall is a quintessential Vancouver landmark to visit. Rent a bicycle and ride around it, or go for a walk and just breathe in the salt air. Either way, you’ll be surrounded by magnificent, sweeping views of the city.
VANCOUVER AQUARIUM
Since it opened in 1956, the Vancouver Aquarium has been a centre for both education and fascination. The facility is home to sea otters, a Pacific white-sided dolphin named Helen, tropical fish, and more, in beautiful galleries that recreate a number of wildlife habitats. The Aquarium is also renowned for its rescue and rehabilitation work.
SHOPPING & ENTERTAINMENT
GRANVILLE ISLAND
Home to a large public market, artist studios, theatres, and a wide variety of restaurants, historic Granville Island is a landmark and Vancouver tourism highlight. Visitors can easily spend the entire day here, shopping local vendors and taking in arts and culture. There’s even a special Kids Market for little ones, too.
GRANVILLE STREET ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT
Granville Street is a major and diverse street, where visitors will find a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Popular retailers like Urban Outfitters are minutes from our hotel. Just across the bridge, South Granville Street shopping includes antiques, boutiques, and home decor.
KITSILANO
Best known for its big, beautiful sandy beach, Kitsilano is one of the city’s most laid-back neighbourhoods. Find outdoor and activewear retailers like Patagonia and Lululemon along 4th Avenue, as well as vegetarian restaurants like the Naam (nourishing locals since 1968).
PACIFIC CENTRE SHOPPING MALL
Just down the street from the Quality Inn & Suites Downtown Vancouver, this shopping mall has it all. Hit Holt Renfrew for designers from Versace to Victoria Beckham; browse local favourite retailers like Aritiza; and other classic retainers.
