Top Reasons to Go

Stanley Park: The views, the activities, and the natural wilderness beauty here are quintessential Vancouver.

Granville Island: Locals and visitors love the mini-ferry ride across False Creek to the Granville Island Public Market where you can shop for delicious lunch fixings; eat outside when the weather's fine.

Kitsilano beaches: Follow the coastline road to the University of British Columbia and you'll travel past a magnificent array of beaches, from grass-edged shores to windswept stretches of sand, to cliff-side coves so private that clothing is optional.

Kayaking into Indian Arm: Barely 30 minutes from downtown, the fjordic landscape is stunning.

Museum of Anthropology at UBC: The phenomenal collection of art and cultural artifacts, and the incredible setting make this Vancouver's must-see museum.
