For an introduction to Canada, FlyOver Canada offers a state-of-the-art experience, taking you on a virtual journey across the country from west to east. With stunning cinematography and immersive effects such as wind, scents, and mist, the moving platform creates the sensation of flying over Canada's diverse landscapes, from towering mountains to sparkling coastlines.

Stanley Park – Ideas for Free Time

Surrounded by an 8.8-kilometre seawall, Stanley Park is a sprawling green space on the edge of downtown Vancouver, bordered by the ocean and offering magnificent views of the Cypress and Grouse Mountains. Serving as both a recreational area for Vancouver residents and a top tourist attraction, the park has plenty to keep visitors entertained for an afternoon or even longer. For starters, there are over 27 kilometres of walking trails that meander through temperate rainforest and along beautiful beaches. Many of these trails double as cycle lanes, making bike hire an excellent way to explore the park. Stanley Park is home to numerous historical landmarks, including Brockton Point Lighthouse and the iconic First Nations totem poles. Nature lovers can marvel at the 800-year-old hollow cedar tree or the biodiverse Beaver Lake, while art enthusiasts will enjoy discovering sculptures and colourful gardens dotted throughout the park. The park also boasts an impressive aquarium, a large outdoor swimming pool, and several cafés and restaurants tucked among the lush greenery. Wildlife sightings are common here, with bald eagles, bats, raccoons, and squirrels all calling the park home. Add all this together, and it’s easy to see why Stanley Park is considered one of Canada’s greatest urban green spaces.

Vancouver Bike Tours

There are many ways to enjoy discovering Vancouver, but one of the best is by bike, allowing you to explore the city and its various highlights at your own pace. You can hire bikes and self-guide or join a guided tour where a local guide will share insights about Vancouver’s history, culture, and landmarks. For an extra boost, you can even hop on an e-bike to help tackle the occasional hill (though there aren’t many in the city). Whether it’s cycling through Stanley Park with a coffee in hand or stopping at Granville Island for a bite to eat, there’s a cycle tour to suit every type of traveller.

A Taste of Vancouver

Vancouver is a melting pot of cuisines, and one of the best ways to sample the culinary delights on offer is by joining a guided food tour. Whether it’s gourmet dining in Gastown, savouring the artisanal spirit of Granville Island, or stepping out of North America and into Asia to enjoy a rich tapestry of flavours—from delicate dumplings to abalone buns, Korean barbecue, and mango coconut desserts—there’s something for every palate. Many tours take you behind the scenes, where you’ll learn about the city’s diverse food culture and the passionate chefs and artisans who make it all possible. From trendy eateries to family-run establishments, Vancouver’s culinary scene is as rich in stories as it is in flavours. However you choose to eat and drink your way around this vibrant city, you’ll leave with full stomachs and happy hearts!
