BREATH-TAKING VANCOUVER HOLIDAYS!

Sat beside the Western Pacific Ocean, Vancouver is known for being one of the safest and prettiest cities in the world! Renowned for its scenic spot between the majestic, snow-capped peaks in British Columbia and the rugged coastline, Vancouver offers the best of everything for your Canadian trip.

It has world-class shopping along it’s tree-lined streets as well as the Granville Island Public Market. This is a fantastic spot to sample the city’s best fresh produce, with cafes, restaurants, grocers, shops, and a mall. The island is small so why not ditch the car and travel by water taxi to take in this former industrial site’s fantastic location?

Vancouver is home to North America’s third largest park, Stanley Park, which covers a vast 1,000 acres along the city’s shore. Stanley Park is dotted with teahouses and totem poles as well as the Stanley Pavilion Garden. Accessed via the 5.5-mile-long seawall walk, you could spend all day marvelling at this beautiful seaside park!

The city has very distinct districts; Canada Place is the contemporary cruise port with exclusive dining and upmarket shopping. Conversely, Gastown is the oldest part of Terminal City, known for its Victorian-style architecture. Keep an eye out for one of the city’s most famous features, the Steam Clock, sat right in the centre of this historic area.

This striking city also has its own beach. Kitsilano beach offers a special experience of sitting on a popular strip of sand reaching out into the bay whilst having spectacular views of Downtown. It’s also surrounded by boutique shops and restaurants, with a spectacular mountainous backdrop and its own park to stroll in when it’s too cool to swim.

Other things to fit into your trip to this stunning city are:
 

• Vancouver is known as Terminal city as it has transport links to many other places. Hop on a boat to beautiful Vancouver Island, take a sea plane tour of the city, or take the freeway North to the popular ski resort of Whistler!

• Vancouver Aquarium sits within Stanley Park and has been a leader in marine mammal rescue for over 60 years. Having recently re-opened, the aquarium now has a fantastic 4D theatre. This fantastic family day out allows you to see marine animals up close like never before, including sea lions, walruses, penguins, dolphins, and sea turtles!
