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!

Vancouver – Ideas for Free Time

You will never be short of things to do in Vancouver – this is a city that truly has something for everyone. A great starting place is the Vancouver Lookout, which offers panoramic views of downtown Vancouver, Coal Harbour, Stanley Park, and the mountains beyond. Complimentary guided tours are available, and interpretive displays provide insight into the city’s history, infrastructure, and local communities. Nearby at Canada Place, FlyOver Canada is a fascinating 3D attraction that takes you on a magical 25-minute simulated flight across the country and through its seasons. From the waterfront, you can head uphill through the business district to explore the shops and restaurants around Robson Street or take a leisurely stroll along the shore via Coal Harbour to Stanley Park. For those interested in exploring vibrant cultural districts, Gastown, Chinatown, and Yaletown are all within walking distance of downtown. Alternatively, the Vancouver Trolley is a great way to get around the city. From the inner harbour at False Creek, you can catch the ferry across to Granville Island, home to the famous market. It’s the perfect spot to spend several hours browsing beautiful arts and crafts while drooling over the impressive range of gastronomic delights—from American doughnuts to German cheeses, Asian spices to Italian antipasti. Granville Island is also a fantastic place to watch street performers and soak up Vancouver’s unique and vibrant atmosphere.

Rocky Mountaineer

The journey between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific West is considered one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world, and taking the Rocky Mountaineer is an incredible way to experience it. The most popular route spans two days between Vancouver and either Banff or Jasper, with an overnight stop in Kamloops. Alternatively, you can extend the experience to three days by including Whistler in your journey, with a short train ride between Vancouver and Whistler, and overnight stops in both Whistler and Quesnel. Whichever route you choose, you’ll be treated to diverse and spectacular landscapes, including sparkling lakes, river canyons, forested hillsides, and towering mountains. The Rocky Mountaineer offers two classes of service to suit different preferences. In SilverLeaf, seating is in a single-level, glass-domed carriage with oversized windows, providing stunning views. Delicious hot meals are served to your seat, and snacks and beverages are included throughout the journey. Overnight accommodation is in a 3-star hotel. In GoldLeaf, you’ll enjoy a premium experience with seats on the upper level of a two-level, glass-domed coach featuring full-length panoramic windows. Gourmet meals are served in an exclusive dining room on the lower level, and all snacks and beverages are included. Overnight accommodation is in a 4-star hotel, with transfers to and from your hotel provided for both classes.

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.
