Explore
Vancouver |
|
For a day you can get a daypass for the public
transport. Take a ride to the various districts of the city. E.g.
Kitsilano has a nice beach and many cute stores and cafes. Or to
chinatown with the worlds second biggest chinese population outside
of china. Walk to Yaletown where the urban yuppies live, or to the
financial district to see the big and quite stunning skyscrapers. |

Stanley
Park |
|
For some nature in the big city, you should
check out stanley park, North America's second largest urban park.
There is a path that goes all the way around the park (about 9km)
alongside the coast line. We do not recomend walking there at night,
as it is quite dangerous to walk anywhere in Vancouver where there
are no bright lights ie. parks, alleys, dark streets, etc...after
10pm.

Robson
Street |
|
Take a stroll along Robson Street, the most
known shopping street in Vancouver (It's the street Tropicana is
on). If you don't feel like shopping, have a coffee and people watch.
There are lots of heated outdoor patios, so that you can sit outside
all year long.

Vancouver
beach activities |
|
Spend a day on one of Vancouver's sandy beaches
while playing some beach volleyball or relaxing. Swimming is not
really recommended due to pollution. But there is a swimming pool
that is directly at the ocean. Then you feel like you're swimming
in the ocean but have the advantage of being in an outdoor pool |
