About Vancouver

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and Coastal Mountains, Vancouver offers a unique blend of urban style and natural landscape.

Within close vicinity to the VCEC, Stanley Park offers an array of walking, hiking and biking paths, along with guided horse-drawn wagon tours for those who prefer not to explore on foot. Within the park’s boundaries, The Vancouver Aquarium features numerous exhibits and daily shows. From Stanley Park, one can venture north to find the Capilano Suspension Bridge, a swaying footbridge suspended 230 feet above the Capilano River. Visitors can ski or hike Grouse Mountain during the day, and catch the sunset over one of Vancouver’s 18km of beaches in the evening.

A short ferry ride across False Creek takes visitors to Granville Island, which offers a lively public market, shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and an abundance of seafood. Staying close to the water’s edge, Yaletown features a mix of fine shopping and dining within the former warehouse district. Robson Street is infamous for its unique boutiques and hosts some of the world’s most famous retailers, while the cobblestone streets of nearby historic Gastown lead to shops, restaurants and an array of Victorian architecture.
Golfers have year round access to over 90 courses, while sports fans can further enjoy a Canucks game at GM Place, or see the BC Lions play at BC Place.
