Holidays exploring Vancouver

Surrounded by both the ocean and the mountains, Vancouver is a vibrant city that appears to have it all – natural beauty, an exciting multicultural foodie scene and plenty of opportunities for wild encounters.

The city itself is a grid of glassy towers: explore the areas by lunching in historic Gastown before an afternoon in the Classical Chinese Garden. Veer off the waterfront into forested Stanley Park – which is one of the world’s best urban parks – to escape all evidence of the city. The temperate rainforest has massive Douglas firs, centuries-old cedars, and winding paths leading to Beaver Lake and Lost Lagoon. If you’ve lucked out with the weather, relax on one of the beaches looking out onto English Bay.

Head out to ski at Whistler, explore wine country of the Okanagan, drive into the Canadian Rockies or watch whales in the wild from Vancouver Island. Book flights to Vancouver and discover it all.

Gastown

Gastown

Founding fathers are often remarkable characters. Vancouver’s are no exception. Though British explorer George Vancouver gives the city its name, it was Gassy Jack who set up the first tavern in the region. His mottled bronze likeness stands down the road from the town clock, which runs on steam and spouts it like a kettle. It is in this area that you’ll find plenty of restaurants. Photographers, head to Vancouver Lookout for views of the city harbour and take a picture of Hotel Europe, which resembles New York’s Flatiron Building.

Yaletown

Yaletown

Named after the prestigious university, Yaletown has an air of sophistication. The neighbourhood runs along the sea wall on Vancouver’s south side. There are some lovely interior décor stores here, including The Cross Décor and Design, which also sells art and prints. Go here to shop among the sophisticated residents, and grab a beer at Yaletown Brewing Co. Across the bridge you’ll reach Granville Island, with the famous food market and great shopping in South Granville.

Chinatown

Chinatown

With thirty per cent of Vancouver’s population being of Chinese descent, it’s not surprising that Chinatown is an important part of the cultural make-up of the city. Here, buy loose leaf tea in the street markets and stroll into the Classical Chinese Garden – the first of its kind created outside of China. You can have a magnificent dim sum lunch by picking from a trolley of delicacies and dumplings in a restaurant. The nightlife scene is exciting, too.

西区

Between busy downtown and Stanley Park, West End has a bit of both the country and the city about it. First off, there are two great public beaches: English Bay beach, which hosts summer fireworks and Sunset Beach. Then there’s Davie Village, the epicentre of Vancouver’s LGBT community and then Robson Street, one of the best streets for shopping and people watching in Vancouver. So start your day with a run in Stanley Park, hit the shops and then paddleboard along busy English Bay Beach in the evening, when the crowds are leaving.
