Visit Vancouver for a Fun and Exciting City Break

Get ready to welcome urban adventures and outdoor activities! There are many things to see and do in Vancouver.

When you visit Vancouver in British Columbia, you’ll fall head over heels in love with the city. Holidays here are all about action-packed itineraries, festivals and leisurely strolls in the park. Top tourist attractions include skiing at Grouse Mountain, day trips to Kitsilano Beach, Capilano Suspension Bridge and whale-watching tours. The mild weather and welcoming community add to the charm of this city.

You will find something unique in each neighbourhood when sightseeing across the city. Gastown provides an edgy, steampunk vibe with its historic architecture and landmarks, and the Commercial Drive is all about the eclectic art scene. If you’re looking for something quieter, Chinatown offers charming cityscapes with its heritage architecture and awe-inspiring Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden.

Holidays in Vancouver are incomplete if you don’t visit Stanley Park. The national park gives you a break from bustling city life with its lush green scenery, picnic spots, and kayaking activities. You can visit the Vancouver Aquarium and cycle on the Seawall while you’re there.
