Holiday In Vancouver

You may think of Canada as a nation of very polite dinner guests. Think again.

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the locals are still polite as heck (sorry), but take a few cues from Canucks fans and you’ll be swinging on suspension bridges, slurping back lo mein and using a few of the swears your cousins taught you at the hockey rink.

Things to Do in Vancouver

Seriously, once you’ve finished high tea in one of the tea rooms on Georgia Street, you can let your hair down. To get around in “Saltwater City”, book one of our sweet Vancouver car hire options, rent a bicycle or take the metro—you’ve got lots of options. No Vancouver holiday is complete without an arvo at Stanley Park, a sprawling green space on the waterfront between the English Bay and Vancouver Harbour. If you’re really into going au naturel, then wander down to Wreck Beach, the city’s only clothing-completely-optional stretch of sand. But please, keep your knickers on when you putter over to Canada Place for a harbour cruise. The adrenaline-inclined don’t have to rock the boat for a good time on Vancouver holidays. Test your courage (and the tread on your shoes) at the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver. They say don’t look down, but from 50 metres above rivers, flora and fauna, that’s kind of the point.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

In Vancouver, the shopping scene ranges from peculiar to posh depending on the particular neighbourhood or street corner. If you want the Full Monty of Vancouver shopping, grab your wallet and sift through the designer boutiques and eclectic vintage collections. If you shop till you almost drop, slip into a coffee shop for a pick-me-up and keep picking up the goods.

When coffee and cakes aren’t enough to nosh, fill up on dim sum in Chinatown. As the dumplings make their rounds it won’t feel like you’re consuming your weight in steamed pastries—they’re so small, after all! With strong international influences, Vancouver offers the unique opportunity to stuff your face with fish and chips in a proper pub and finish the meal with a plate of tacos or a bowl of ramen.

When you’re planning to spend the evening on Canada’s West Coast, be sure to book Vancouver packages with hotels near the neighbourhoods where you plan to hang. Yaletown is the place to go for ridiculously good-looking cocktails and equally endearing locals. To learn how to dougie with the best of them, whip and nae nae over the downtown Granville Entertainment District to hop and shimmy through the best dance clubs in town.
