Year-round fun and beauty |
6400 Nancy Greene Way Vancouver, BC V7R 4K9 Canada +1 604 984 0661 http://www.grousemountain.com/ |
See the entire city, sea and beyond from this peak's magnificent vista. 15 minutes from downtown, this is the city's closest mountain and offers year-round activities. In the summer, go on guided walking tours, helicopter trips and visit the restaurants. In the winter, ski, snowboard, or go on a sleigh ride. If you prefer to keep warm, try out the Theatre in the Sky. See their website for information on rates and further details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bus tours are a great way to get a feel for the city and see its highlights in comfort. This bus line offers tours through British Columbia's largest cities, Vancouver and Victoria. The coach line has three city tours, one that shows downtown highlights, and the others taking you to North Vancouver and the surrounding North Shore region. The company offers pick up and drop off service to most downtown hotels. Its tours are predominantly conducted in English, but large groups can arrange tours in other languages.

Fun and relaxing beachfront paradise |
1100 Chestnut Street Vancouver, BC V6J 3J9 Canada +1 604 257 8400 (Board of Parks and Recreation) http://www.city.vancouver.bc.c... |
This is the best place in the city to fly a kite or watch talented people fly them with grace and finesse. Visitors can marvel at the skyward fancy loops, swirls and dips by the seashore. This large park located five minutes from downtown, is home to the Vancouver Museum, Vancouver Maritime Museum, Pacific Space Centre and Gordon Southam Observatory. Views of downtown and the water make this a place to sit and quietly observe. It's also home to the summer's Bard on the Beach and Children's Festival. Review © 2007, Wcities |
