 Our five-sailed landmark |
780-999 Canada Place Vancouver, BC V6C 3E1 Canada +1 604 775 7200 http://www.canadaplace.ca/ |
On many postcards of the city, you will find images of this "five-sailed" complex adorning the harbour shoreline. This should be high on the list of things to see for first timers to the city. The centre, located downtown, was Canada's Pavilion at the 1986 World Expo and is currently the home of the World Trade Centre and Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre. It also houses the CN IMAX Theatre, a five-story movie screen. Just walking around the structure gives you panoramic views of the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tucked away in the forest |
4085 Capilano Road Vancouver, BC V7R 1J5 Canada +1 604 987 8582 / +1 888 387 8588 http://www.capilanocanyonrt.com |
This lodging's owners describe it as "the best damn little bed and breakfast on the West Coast." Those are big words for such a little place, so you know it has to prove that those words are not mere hyperbole. This guest house is tucked away in old-growth forest, but is only minutes from the city centre. The Burrard Inlet Seawall, Capilano Canyon Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Cleveland Dam and Grouse Mountain are just a few of the highlights nearby. Guests sleep on 17th- and 18th-century-replica French and English beds. The rooms are provided with terry towel bathrobes and slippers, and open out to a large sundeck. Guests can also unwind at the lounging area to read a book from the library or catch the latest on television. Continental breakfasts are served on the sundeck when weather permits.

Nature, history and thrills |
3735 Capilano Rd Vancouver, BC V7R 4J1 Canada +1 604 985 7474 http://www.capbridge.com/ |
Although it's safe, you will want to grip the rope as you step out on to the creaky wooden planks of this bridge, which provides a look down at the glorious Capilano River raging 230 feet below. This popular attraction, the city's oldest, isn't recommended for those who fear heights. Ten minutes from downtown, the attraction includes a restaurant, Trading Post gift shop, a Native Carving Centre and guided tours. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Former hippie haven |

Kitsilano is an interesting shopping area and neighbourhood that was a major haven for hippies in the 1960s.

Traces can still be found, however, in some of the eclectic shops and vegetarian restaurants such as Môtiv, Kaya Kaya, Sophie's Cosmic Cafe and the Naam. Some of Vancouver's top restaurants, like Bishop's and Lumiere can be found here also. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Massive urban park |
West end of Georgia Street Vancouver, BC V6G 3E2 Canada +1 604 257 8400 (Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation) http://www.city.vancouver.bc.c... |
Attractions abound in this massive downtown park, a veritable rainforest within a metropolis. To name just a few of the activities and attractions: the Children's Farmyard, Miniature Railway, tennis courts, beaches, children's water park, heated ocean side swimming pool, the Theatre Under the Stars, the Vancouver Aquarium and the 10.5-km perimeter Seawall, which is packed with joggers, walkers and rollerbladers. Once a military reserve, the park became one of the city's premier attractions by action of the city's first council. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Old English style |
1154 Gilford St (Near Pendrett) Vancouver, BC V6G 2P6 Canada +1 604 681 9321 http://www.sylviahotel.com/ |
A classic fixture in Vancouver's West End, this hotel is a historical landmark; its traditional European-style facade is almost completely obscured by ivy. Constructed in 1912, it was originally one of the tallest apartment buildings in the city. It was later converted to a hotel during the Depression and named after the builder's daughter. The dark wood-detailed interior evokes a European feel. The building's beachside location offers ocean views and access. Sitting across from English Bay, it is a short distance to Stanley Park and world-class shopping. Review © 2007, Wcities |
