Planning a Vancouver itinerary doesn’t have to be hard. Our awesome attractions and notable nature can be bunched together in a way that makes it easy on the odometer – and soft on the savings account. I was born and raised here and if I were a tourist this is how I’d do...
I’ve been looking for things to do in Vancouver since 1986. As a kid I was happy with a forest frolic, a dig for clams at the beach, or a trip to feed the squirrels in Stanley Park: then I grew up and wanted culture, cuisine, and cocktails. Today I’m comfortably in between...
Every Vancouverite (myself included) has thought about moving to Kitsilano at least once. The snug seaside neighbourhood named after local medicine man Jack Khatsalano has epic beaches, riveting restaurants, and even Ryan Reynolds. Hippy counterculture (Greenpeace) and yuppie consumer...
When we think of a suspension bridge we often think about the traffic of cities or some San Francisco helicopter panoramic. But this is Vancouver. We grew up in a forest and we’re not about to let architects take centre stage. If you’ve ever wanted to walk on a bridge that...
Looking to visit one museum that truly embodies Vancouver? Head to the Museum of Anthropology. MOA is home to the world’s premier collection of Northwest Coast Indigenous sculptures, totem poles, and antiquities – and that’s just the start. It’s also one stop...
Grouse Mountain is Vancouver’s number one tourist attraction. This true four-season, five-star destination just 20 minutes from downtown is an alpine playground of outdoor activities, panoramic views, and elite dining options. You may even briefly forget Vancouver even exists...
If you don’t know where to stay in Vancouver you’re not alone. I was born and raised in the city and I still don’t know which area I love best. Don’t worry though. From party precincts brimming with bars to rural regions in the middle of a forest you’ll find them on my list – so...
As a child one of the best things to do in Stanley Park for me was showing up with a garbage bag stuffed with an autumn’s worth of acorns to feed legions of bushy grey squirrels. It wasn’t yet TripAdvisor’s ‘top park in the entire world‘. Half a million trees...
You can call me biased but Vancouver beaches are the most spectacular urban variety on planet earth. They won’t make headlines like Miami or Rio de Janeiro, but what we lack in weather we make up for with unspoiled nature and epic mountain views! Let’s pick out the best...
Admittedly there are probably few things less interesting for any prospective tourist than a 3000 word article on Vancouver airport transportation. But how can you get the fun rolling without it? With so many options it can get confusing but we’re going to break it down so you can...
The more I travel the more I understand my city and its strengths and weaknesses.
