Queen Elizabeth Park 3. Bloedel conservatory 4. Van Dussen Botanical 5. China Town - Dirty, full of homeless people 6. Burnaby - Metropolis mall - Biggest mall in BC 7. Gas town - vibes and that silly steam clock 8. Canada place and the harbor - nice views 9. Granville Island - cool vibes, hippy spot 10. Richmond - I can tell it's a nice place to go, but I haven't had the chance. Transportation & Getting around town - Buy a day pass for $11.25, allowing you to travel by bus, sky train, and ferry to north van, unlimited uses for that particular day. Downtown Vancouver is super walkable.

North Vancouver is a lovely area just across the bay from Downtown Vancouver. Easy access across the bay via the regular ferry gives you the best of everything. North Vancouver seems a nice safe neighbourhood with a nice choice of bars and restaurants. You also have easy access to the hills and mountains where there are some great walks and stunning scenery.

This is a beautiful city with loads of attractions, I found it was a very drivable city, parking is expensive but accessible, there are free shuttles to activities like Capilano Swing Bridge and Grouse Mountain. The Canada line goes from the airport into the city with a day pass costing 13.25 for adults, the cruise port is also accessible from this line. We did the Hop on Hop off bus to most of the city’s best attractions like Granville Island Market and Stanley Park. I look forward to visiting Vancouver again. Wildlife and Nature abound.

I've stayed here numerous times before and was surprised to be booked in a very small basement bedroom . There was no air conditioning in the room but only an open basement window. Not impressed considering the number of previous bookings. Otherwise the facilities met with our previous expectations. lovely view and great kitchen facilities with several breakfast options.

I found that the best areas to visit were away from the city, such as Whistler, Grose Mountain, the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Nth Vancouver. Chinatown and surrounding area was not good with lots of people lying around in the streets. This whole area needs to be cleaned up as it is bad for locals as well as tourists who can no longer visit this area. Catching the SeaBus and the local bus system was very good as is the good number of Uber drivers which are a great help to getting around the city. Also Granville Island, especially the market is a lovely place to visit.

For a quick staycation we had friends coming from the island as well as the valley and decided North Van would be a good middle distance. We had few expectations and assumed we would be shopping and sipping drinks with good friends. It turned out that it was very easy to get around between sea bus to down town and bussing up to the parks. The shipyards area and lower lonsdale is rich with great little stores and non-chain restaurants which was such a treat.
