Capilano Suspension Bridge

Stanley Park

Boasting all the attractions of a metropolis but with a decidedly calmer and ultimately positive vibe, Vancouver, British Columbia, is one of the world’s top tourist destinations. Perhaps the most famous attraction of the city is Stanley Park. The 1,000-acre sanctuary in the middle of the city offers visitors sprawling views of the surrounding mountains and forests and the Pacific Ocean. Another outdoor attraction, VanDusen Botanical Garden, covers 55 acres and is home to 65 different species of birds. Switch from bird-watching to people-watching as you make your way to Robson Street, famed for the best shopping and dining in the area. After hitting the boutiques, visitors can then look forward to a gourmet meal. Known as a particularly international city, Vancouver is home to citizens from all corners of the world, and this is delightfully evident in the city’s many restaurants. Whether you’re in the mood for Japanese, French, Italian or a modern fusion of all three,

Robson Street will surely have a restaurant to enchant even the most discerning of palates. For those looking for a thrill, head for the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Hung 230ft aboveground, its namesake 450ft-long bridge was built in 1889 from hemp ropes and cedar planks. The now wire-cable bridge has been crossed by millions of visitors, and one look at the breathtaking forest scene below and it’s easy to see why. Continue the bird’s-eye view by taking an Alpine Lakes & Glaciers Tour with Harbour Air Seaplanes. The hour-long flight takes visitors from Vancouver Harbour and past Mount Mamquam and, during the summer months, the plane lands on a secret alpine lake whose crystal clear waters you can enjoy while having a picnic. The city has been decorated with an extensive list of awards, including Condé Nast Traveler ’s “Top City of the Americas,” and has been chosen as “The World’s Most Liveable City” eight times since 2002.

L’Hermitage Hotel

WHERE TO EAT In an area known for its succulent seafood, Blue Water Cafe is the best of the best. The gorgeous restaurant has a raw bar, heated patio and multiple private dining rooms. Executive chef Frank Pabst is especially known for his 'seafood tower,' which stacks tiers with oysters, prawns, red tuna, smoked salmon, scallops, clams and mussels. 1095 Hamilton Street WHERE TO FLY Located just nine miles from the center of the city at Vancouver International Airport, Million Air Vancouver has 240,000 sq ft of ramp space.
