Wanderlust Vancity
Stanley Park
Ideally situated on a peninsula at the northwestern edge of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park is one of the city's main tourist destinations,Featuring lovely beaches, miles of well-maintained paved and dirt trails, and an array of can't-miss kid-friendly spots (including a pool, water park, miniature railway and more), this 400-hectare (1,000-acre) haven is recognized as one of the greatest urban parks in the world.
Vancouver Seawall
Cyclists fly by, tourists stroll, joggers cruise the paths and all Seawall denizens look out onto the bay. It's easy to see why the Seawall is Stanley Park's most famous feature. It's an impressive 8.8-kilometre (5.5-mile) paved route that loops around the park and, along with adjoining seaside pathways, connects the park to downtown Vancouver and skirts its entire inner waterfront.
Capilano Suspention Bridge
Overcome your fear of heights in style, with the help of the almost 140-metre Capilano Suspension Bridge, which hangs 70 metres above the rushing Capilano River. Once you’ve conquered the big bridge, explore the Cliffwalk—a series of cliff side suspended and cantilevered walkways above the rainforest. And after those two experiences, the Treetops Adventure—seven bridges suspended by 250-year-old Douglas firs 34 metre above the forest floor . Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is full of adrenaline-pumping attractions that immerse you in the beautiful outdoors.
