Vancouver: Overview of Initial Travel Tips &amp; FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes Vancouver so special?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Untouched nature on your doorstep:<\/strong>&nbsp;Sounds like a clich\u00e9, but it\u2019s a reality in Vancouver. Vancouver is nestled between mountains and the Pacific \u2013 it doesn\u2019t get much nicer than that. So if you are interested in a city trip combined with a healthy portion of nature, Vancouver is the right place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water, water, water:&nbsp;<\/strong>Related to the previous point \u2013 water is omnipresent in Vancouver. Afterall, Vancouver is located on the Straight of Georgia, an arm of the Pacific Ocean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Great gastro-scene:<\/strong>&nbsp;Whether hip caf\u00e9s or trendy restaurants \u2013 if you enjoy good food and drinks, you will love Vancouver. The Granville Public Market is also awesome, but more on that later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many days should I plan for Vancouver?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot to see in Vancouver. We ourselves were in Vancouver for <strong>almost a week<\/strong> and found this to be the perfect amount of time. We dedicated one day to taking a day trip up north to Whistler. Then there was still enough time to extensively explore Vancouver and its sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our opinion, the absolute <strong>minimum stay<\/strong> in Vancouver is <strong>two nights<\/strong>. All of the sights are a bit scattered, so you need adequate time to gain a good insight into the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which sights in Vancouver should I not miss?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we go into details in the next chapter of this travel guide about all the sights in Vancouver, here is our small but mighty <strong>bucket list<\/strong> to give you an initial overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marvel at the view from the <strong>Vancouver lookout<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discover the hip peninsula <strong>Granville Island<\/strong> and enjoy the treats at the Public Market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cycle around <strong>Stanley Park<\/strong> along the Seawall Promenade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try out the caf\u00e9s in the <strong>trendy Gastown<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a stroll across the dizzying <strong>Capilano Suspension Bridge<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

Vancouver Travel Guide: The TOP Sights in Vancouver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stanley Park: Bike Tour along the Seawall Promenade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Park? More like a <strong>nature oasis<\/strong>! Stanley Park is a <strong>peninsular<\/strong> of over 400 hectares and definitely one of our favourite sights in Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our tip: we can highly recommend walking around Stanley Park and along the <strong>Seawall Promenade<\/strong>. Depending on your pace, you should allow around 1.5 to 2 hours for the 9 kilometre long stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no <strong>bikes to hire<\/strong> in the park itself, but there are right outside the entrance, more precisely at the north end of Denman Street. Many hotels also offer their guests bicycles to use for free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Radfahren-Stanley-Park-Tipps.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43015\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-43015 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Radfahren-Stanley-Park-Tipps-1024x684.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Radfahren-Stanley-Park-Tipps-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Radfahren-Stanley-Park-Tipps-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Radfahren-Stanley-Park-Tipps-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Radfahren-Stanley-Park-Tipps.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Ride a bike Stanley Park\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stanley-Park-Vancouver.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"41143\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-41143 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stanley-Park-Vancouver-1024x684.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stanley-Park-Vancouver-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stanley-Park-Vancouver-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stanley-Park-Vancouver-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stanley-Park-Vancouver.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Stanley Park Vancouver\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coal Harbour &amp; Canada Place<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>South of Stanley Park is Coal Harbour \u2013 a combination of a residential area, marina and shopping district. If you feel like taking a stroll along the waterfront, you are in the right place. A <strong>promenade<\/strong> runs along the shore here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iconic small <strong>sea planes<\/strong> also leave from Coal Harbour. If you want to watch them take off, or perhaps even take a round trip yourself, you can do it here. A round trip is no cheap undertaking, but of course it is a very special experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the south of Coal Harbour you come to <strong>Canada Place<\/strong>, a building that looks like a ship and houses a congress centre, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Yachthafen-Vancouver.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43017\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-43017 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Yachthafen-Vancouver-1024x684.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Yachthafen-Vancouver-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Yachthafen-Vancouver-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Yachthafen-Vancouver-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Yachthafen-Vancouver.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Marina Vancouver\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Coal-Harbour-Vancouver-1.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43016\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-43016 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Coal-Harbour-Vancouver-1-1024x684.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Coal-Harbour-Vancouver-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Coal-Harbour-Vancouver-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Coal-Harbour-Vancouver-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Coal-Harbour-Vancouver-1.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Coal Harbour Vancouver\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gastown: Vancouver\u2019s hipster district<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gastown is a historic district in Vancouver. With its brick houses, retro shops and many caf\u00e9s, Gastown exudes a <strong>historic charm<\/strong> that you can\u2019t find anywhere else in Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main attraction in Gastown is the famous steam clock. It looks very old at first glance, but is actually from the 70s. It plays music every 15 minutes, so crowds regularly gather in front of the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gastown is the perfect spot for a <strong>coffee break<\/strong>, because there are many hip caf\u00e9s to be found here. Two of our favourites are the charming \u201cNelson the Seagull\u201d and the pure minimalist \u201cNemesis\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Gastown-Vancouver-Tipps.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43019\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"43019\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-43019 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Gastown-Vancouver-Tipps-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Gastown-Vancouver-Tipps-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Gastown-Vancouver-Tipps-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Gastown-Vancouver-Tipps-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Gastown-Vancouver-Tipps.jpg 801w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dampfuhr-Vancouver.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43018\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"43018\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-43018 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dampfuhr-Vancouver-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dampfuhr-Vancouver-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dampfuhr-Vancouver-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dampfuhr-Vancouver-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dampfuhr-Vancouver.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Steam clock Vancouver\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vancouver Lookout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Possibly the <strong>most famous viewpoint<\/strong> in Vancouver is the Vancouver Lookout. The viewing platform can be found at the top of a high-rise building and offers an incredible <strong>360 degree panorama view<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A glass elevator takes you comfortably up to the <strong>169 metre high<\/strong> viewing platform. The one downside: the lookout is only indoors, there is no outdoor terrace. Nevertheless, you can still take great photos from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our tip:<\/strong> if the opening times and weather allow, then it is best to come at sunset. Vancouver looks pretty impressive from this height when the sun casts a soft light on the skyscrapers and the mountains beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate-icon\">\n        <div>\n                      <svg class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-ticket\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fal\"\n                 data-icon=\"ticket\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\n              <path fill=\"currentColor\"\n                    d=\"M128 192C128 174.3 142.3 160 160 160H416C433.7 160 448 174.3 448 192V320C448 337.7 433.7 352 416 352H160C142.3 352 128 337.7 128 320V192zM160 320H416V192H160V320zM576 128V208C549.5 208 528 229.5 528 256C528 282.5 549.5 304 576 304V384C576 419.3 547.3 448 512 448H64C28.65 448 0 419.3 0 384V304C26.51 304 48 282.5 48 256C48 229.5 26.51 208 0 208V128C0 92.65 28.65 64 64 64H512C547.3 64 576 92.65 576 128zM32 182.7C60.25 195 80 223.2 80 256C80 288.8 60.25 316.1 32 329.3V384C32 401.7 46.33 416 64 416H512C529.7 416 544 401.7 544 384V329.3C515.7 316.1 496 288.8 496 256C496 223.2 515.7 195 544 182.7V128C544 110.3 529.7 96 512 96H64C46.33 96 32 110.3 32 128V182.7z\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"affiliate-body\">\n        <p><strong>You can book your ticket in advance here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/vancouver-l189\/vancouver-lookout-170-meter-aussichtsplattform-360-grad-t19796\/?partner_id=P9YUZII&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Vancouver Lookout<\/a><\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<!-- GetYourGuide Analytics -->\n\n<script async defer src=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/dist\/pa.umd.production.min.js\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"P9YUZII\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Erfahrungen.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43009\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-43009 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Erfahrungen-1024x684.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Erfahrungen-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Erfahrungen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Erfahrungen-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Erfahrungen.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Vancouver Lookout Experiences\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Sonnenuntergang.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43020\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-43020 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Sonnenuntergang-1024x684.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Sonnenuntergang-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Sonnenuntergang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Sonnenuntergang-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vancouver-Lookout-Sonnenuntergang.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Vancouver Lookout sunset\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Granville Island and Public Market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Granville Island is a very <strong>hip peninsula<\/strong> south of the city centre. It is home to arguably the most famous market in Vancouver and one of the city\u2019s most popular attractions, the vibrant Granville Island Public Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It opens its doors daily at 9am. Food is sold <strong>from all over the world<\/strong>: from tropical fruits to seafood, from what is said to be the best bread in Vancouver to unbelievably delicious donuts. Here are a few solid tips for really great market stalls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lee\u2019s Donuts:&nbsp;<\/strong>The best donuts far and

Eating &amp; Drinking: Culinary Vancouver Travel Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The gastro scene in Vancouver is huge. There are countless cool caf\u00e9s and restaurants, deciding on one is very difficult. In this chapter of our travel guide we reveal some of our favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caf\u00e9 Medina:<\/strong>&nbsp;one of the most popular brunch spots in Vancouver. People line up in front of the caf\u00e9 for their Mediterranean-inspired dishes and the tables usually fill up very quickly on the weekend. Be sure to try the fresh waffles (salted caramel \u2013 yummy)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nelson the Seagull:&nbsp;<\/strong>Hip caf\u00e9 in Gastown that also serves homemade sourdough bread. Perfect for breakfast or a coffee break in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Belgard Kitchen:&nbsp;<\/strong>This restaurant is part of the craft brewery Postmark Brewing. It is located east of Gastown and serves fusion dishes in small portions to share: from classic burgers and burrata to roasted cauliflower, it has it all.

Tips for Tours in Vancouver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boat tours along the Indian Arm&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Time for a bit of <strong>adventure<\/strong>! It\u2019s hard to believe untouched nature is actually directly on the doorstep of the city of Vancouver. One of the best ways to get a glimpse of Vancouver\u2019s majestic location is to cruise along the Indian Arm, a <strong>gigantic fiord<\/strong> that borders Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to go with <strong>Granite Falls Tour<\/strong>, which we can warmly recommend. Wrapped up in thick thermal suits, you roar along the water for <strong>three hours <\/strong>on a speed boat and marvel at the breathtakingly beautiful nature around Vancouver from the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small warning: you should not be shy of water, because you will definitely get wet during the boat ride (sometimes more, sometimes less). Take a spare change of clothes with you just to be sure, in case you are not going back to your hotel afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate\">\n

Day trip Destinations around Vancouver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capilano Suspension Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Capilano Suspension Bridge is one of <em>the<\/em> sights in Vancouver and is located north of Vancouver in \u201cNorth Vancouver\u201d, around a 10-minute drive from the centre of Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, an important tip: Capilano Suspension Bridge is part of the park of the same name \u2013 you could also call it an <strong>adventure park<\/strong>. You definitely shouldn\u2019t expect to find undisturbed wilderness here, although the nature is undoubtedly worth seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main and most popular attraction in the park is most certainly the suspension bridge itself. The free-swinging rope bridge spans <strong>70 metres high<\/strong> over a river \u2013 already quite impressive we must say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, next to the bridge a type of treetop path awaits you (\u201cTreetops Adventure\u201d) and the Cliffwalk. We would allow around <strong>two hours<\/strong> all together for the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate-icon\">\n        <div>\n                      <svg class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-ticket\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fal\"\n                 data-icon=\"ticket\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\n              <path fill=\"currentColor\"\n                    d=\"M128 192C128 174.3 142.3 160 160 160H416C433.7 160 448 174.3 448 192V320C448 337.7 433.7 352 416 352H160C142.3 352 128 337.7 128 320V192zM160 320H416V192H160V320zM576 128V208C549.5 208 528 229.5 528 256C528 282.5 549.5 304 576 304V384C576 419.3 547.3 448 512 448H64C28.65 448 0 419.3 0 384V304C26.51 304 48 282.5 48 256C48 229.5 26.51 208 0 208V128C0 92.65 28.65 64 64 64H512C547.3 64 576 92.65 576 128zM32 182.7C60.25 195 80 223.2 80 256C80 288.8 60.25 316.1 32 329.3V384C32 401.7 46.33 416 64 416H512C529.7 416 544 401.7 544 384V329.3C515.7 316.1 496 288.8 496 256C496 223.2 515.7 195 544 182.7V128C544 110.3 529.7 96 512 96H64C46.33 96 32 110.3 32 128V182.7z\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"affiliate-body\">\n        <p><strong>You can book your ticket in advance here: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/capilano-suspension-bridge-l3990\/vancouver-capilano-suspension-bridge-park-self-guided-tour-t200569\/?partner_id=P9YUZII&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Capilano Suspension Bridge<\/a><\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-1.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"42999\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"42999\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-42999 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-1-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-1-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-1-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-1.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Capilano Suspensio Bridge\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-ohne-Menschen-1.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"42997\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"42997\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-42997 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-ohne-Menschen-1-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-ohne-Menschen-1-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-ohne-Menschen-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-ohne-Menschen-1-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-ohne-Menschen-1.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Capilano Suspension Bridge\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grouse Mountain &amp; Cypress Mountain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grouse Mountain and the neighbouring Cypress Mountain north of the city centre, along with the rest of the North Shore Mountains, are <strong>Vancouver\u2019s home mountains<\/strong>. They are all popular recreation destinations located unbelievably close to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In winter you can ski on both mountains (with a view of the city!), in summer most people come to hike. A <strong>popular gondola<\/strong> (\u201cSkyride\u201d) goes up Grouse Mountain. Sporty people can navigate the \u201cGrouse Grind\u201d \u2013 a path that takes you up the mountain where you have to conquer around 853 vertical metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ourselves took a small excursion up Cypress Mountain. A road makes its way up here \u2013 not all the way up, but at least far enough that you can enjoy a beautiful <strong>view of Vancouver<\/strong>. The spot is called \u201cCypress Lookout\u201d on Google Maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Cypress-Mountain-Ausblick-1-2.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"43006\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-43006 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Cypress-Mountain-Ausblick-1-2-1024x684.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Cypress-Mountain-Ausblick-1-2-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Cypress-Mountain-Ausblick-1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Cypress-Mountain-Ausblick-1-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Cypress-Mountain-Ausblick-1-2.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Cypress Mountain-Viewpoint\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Squamish &amp; Whistler<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to experience more of British Columbia\u2019s spectacular nature (the province where Vancouver is located), then we warmly recommend a mini road trip to the <strong>\u201cSea to Sky Gondola\u201d in Squamish<\/strong> and to the <strong>Olympic Village in Whistler<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tour makes for a great day trip because Whistler is about a 1.5 hour drive north of Vancouver.

Staying the Night: Our Hotel Tips for Vancouver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We stayed in two hotels in Vancouver in two different price brackets, both of which we can recommend. You can find an account of our experiences below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Westin Bayshore: fantastic water views<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This very popular hotel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/ca\/the-westin-bayshore-vancouver.en.html?aid=874507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Westin Bayshore<\/a>, is located directly on the harbour (\u201cCoal Harbour\u201d) and is therefore perfect for those longing for a <strong>beautiful view<\/strong>. You must to be sure to book a room with a harbour view for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rooms are very <strong>comfortably furnished<\/strong>, the beds very relaxing and there is also everything you could wish for in a 4-star hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>hotel location<\/strong> is great: you can quickly reach Stanley Park. (The hotel has bicycles for hire, with the first two hours free.) You can reach Gastown and Downtown Vancouver in around 15 minutes on the bus. If you aren\u2019t in a rush, you can also walk along the harbour promenade in around 25 minutes \u2013 really beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate-icon\">\n        <div>\n                      <svg class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-hotel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fal\"\n                 data-icon=\"hotel\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n              <path fill=\"currentColor\"\n                    d=\"M320 96C320 78.33 334.3 64 352 64H384C401.7 64 416 78.33 416 96V128C416 145.7 401.7 160 384 160H352C334.3 160 320 145.7 320 128V96zM384 96H352V128H384V96zM272 64C289.7 64 304 78.33 304 96V128C304 145.7 289.7 160 272 160H240C222.3 160 208 145.7 208 128V96C208 78.33 222.3 64 240 64H272zM240 128H272V96H240V128zM208 224C208 206.3 222.3 192 240 192H272C289.7 192 304 206.3 304 224V256C304 273.7 289.7 288 272 288H240C222.3 288 208 273.7 208 256V224zM272 224H240V256H272V224zM384 192C401.7 192 416 206.3 416 224V256C416 273.7 401.7 288 384 288H352C334.3 288 320 273.7 320 256V224C320 206.3 334.3 192 352 192H384zM352 256H384V224H352V256zM96 96C96 78.33 110.3 64 128 64H160C177.7 64 192 78.33 192 96V128C192 145.7 177.7 160 160 160H128C110.3 160 96 145.7 96 128V96zM160 96H128V128H160V96zM160 192C177.7 192 192 206.3 192 224V256C192 273.7 177.7 288 160 288H128C110.3 288 96 273.7 96 256V224C96 206.3 110.3 192 128 192H160zM128 256H160V224H128V256zM173.8 379.9C167.2 374 166.6 363.9 172.5 357.3C193 334.4 222.8 320 256 320C289.2 320 318.1 334.4 339.5 357.3C345.4 363.9 344.8 374 338.2 379.9C331.6 385.8 321.5 385.3 315.6 378.7C300.1 362.3 279.7 352 256 352C232.3 352 211 362.3 196.4 378.7C190.5 385.3 180.4 385.8 173.8 379.9V379.9zM496 0C504.8 0 512 7.164 512 16C512 24.84 504.8 32 496 32H480V480H496C504.8 480 512 487.2 512 496C512 504.8 504.8 512 496 512H16C7.164 512 0 504.8 0 496C0 487.2 7.164 480 16 480H32V32H16C7.164 32 0 24.84 0 16C0 7.164 7.164 0 16 0H496zM256 416C247.2 416 240 423.2 240 432V480H272V432C272 423.2 264.8 416 256 416zM304 432V480H448V32H64V480H208V432C208 405.5 229.5 384 256 384C282.5 384 304 405.5 304 432z\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"affiliate-body\">\n        <p><strong>You can book the hotel here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/ca\/the-westin-bayshore-vancouver.en.html?aid=874507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Westin Bayshore<\/a><\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Burrard: inexpensive &amp; central<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The hotel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/ca\/the-burrard.en.html?aid=874507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Burrad<\/a>, located in Downtown Vancouver is <strong>much cheaper<\/strong>, but just as recommendable.
