VANCOUVER VACATIONS
ABOUT VANCOUVER
With local mountains as a backdrop to the beaches and waterfront buildings, it's no wonder that Vancouver is considered one of the worlds most naturally beautiful modern cities. A morning could be spent walking across Capilano Suspension Bridge to breathe in the rich smells of cedar and douglas fir trees surrounding the canyon. Or further up the hill walk onto a gondola taking you to the peak of Vancouver, Grouse Mountain. From there you can get a birds eye view of Stanley Park, float planes landing in the harbour and possibly an Alaskan cruise ship passing under Lions Gate Bridge. Back in the city be wowed by a food tasting tour at Granville Island, savouring flavours of maple syrup salmon and micro-brewery specialties. The artisan shops and street entertainers provide laughter and memory making moments to treasure for a lifetime. Hop onto a miniature sightseeing ferry to see the city from water level, passing kayakers and harbour seals before docking near the seawall and strolling towards towering glass skyscrapers. Embrace more of the West Coast culture with a visit to the Vancouver Art Gallery or the Museum of Anthropogy which has a special emphasis on the First Nations peoples. Vancouver is an active city, yet it's relaxed inhabitants welcome visitors with a smile.
