Stanley Park: One of the largest urban parks in North America, Stanley Park is 1000 acres of rain forest, beaches, gardens bordering downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. You'll wander among totem poles and see Burrard Inlet and the North Shore Mountains at Prospect Point. Unlike other large urban parks, Stanley Park is not the product of a landscape architect, but has evolved into its present, mixed-use configuration.
Chinatown: Looking for paper lanterns, pottery, a bamboo back scratcher, Chinese herbs or other exotic gifts?
Vancouver's Chinatown won't disappoint you. You'll feel you've taken a shortcut to China.
Gastown: Vancouver's oldest neighborhood, famous for its cobblestone streets, steam clock, and quaint shops. Gastown was Vancouver's first downtown core and is named after "Gassy" Jack Deighton, a British seaman, steamboat captain and barkeep who arrived in 1867 to open the area's first saloon.
The Entertainment District: See Canada Place, home to the cruise ship terminal, the Vancouver convention centre and the IMAX theatre. Then on to Queen Elizabeth Theatre home of Vancouver Opera, BC Ballet and Broadway shows, and finally Vancouver Public Library, an architectural masterpiece that will remind you of the Roman Coliseum.
Robson Street: Robson Street is Vancouver's most famous shopping street. It's famous for upscale clothing and shoe stores, restaurants, gifts and souvenirs, hair salons and candy stores.Its name honors John Robson, a major figure in British Columbia's entry into the Canadian Confederation, and Premier of the province from 1889 to 1892.
Capilano Suspension Bridge: Often voted the best attraction in BC, the Capilano Suspension Bridge has, along with its 450 foot suspension bridge stretched over Capilano Canyon, a beautiful collection of totem poles, totem pole carvers, a rain forest nature park, daily entertainment during the summer, a snack bar, gift shop and history centre.The Capilano Suspension Bridge Park gives you a taste of everything the North Shore has to offer: mountains, trees, a beautiful river and a peaceful walk in the rain forest.
Cleveland Dam: Watch the water spill over Cleveland Dam and into the Capilano River canyon far below. From this vantage point, you can see the twin peaks of the Lions and the Grouse Mountain gondola.
Part of the Capilano River Regional Park, it is not used for hydroelectricity, but rather for storing a portion of the Lower Mainland's drinking water. It was completed in 1954, and is named after Ernest Cleveland, first chief commissioner of the Greater Vancouver Water District.
