Ideally situated on a peninsula In the early 1900s, Granville Island was home to factories, plants and sawmills. At one time, its official name was Industrial Island. But today, things couldn't be more different. Activity is centred at the Granville Island Public Market, with its bevy of merchants selling seafood, fresh produce, cheese and breads.
At the northwestern edge of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park is one of the city's main tourist destinations, attracting approximately 8 million visitors each year. Featuring numerous lovely beaches, miles of well-maintained paved and dirt trails, Canada's largest aquarium and an array of can't-miss kid-friendly spots (including a pool, water park, miniature railway and more), this 1,000-acre haven is recognized as one of the greatest urban parks in the world.
As Vancouver's first park, with its ever-blooming gardens, pristine coastal areas and roughly 500,000 cedar, fir and hemlock trees, Stanley Park has continued to live up to its "greenspace" designation for more than 120 years. For these reasons and more, this tranquil oasis is the perfect city escape.
One of Vancouver’s most iconic and thrilling sites, Capilano Suspension Bridge is breathtakingly suspended 450 feet across and 230 feet above Capilano River.
