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.

Grouse Mountain

Known as the Peak of Vancouver, Grouse Mountain is a prominent destination located just a short 15-minute bus ride from downtown Vancouver. For breathtaking views, take the scenic Skyride tramway from the base to the summit, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas of Vancouver, the Pacific Ocean, and beyond. For those feeling particularly adventurous, you can attempt the Grouse Grind, a challenging 2.9-kilometre ascent often referred to as "Mother Nature’s Stairmaster." This demanding trail is not for the faint-hearted, but reaching the summit brings an incredible sense of accomplishment along with the stunning scenery. Grouse Mountain is a fantastic spot for outdoor enthusiasts and provides a refreshing escape from the city. With its stunning views, fresh mountain air, and a variety of outdoor activities, it’s a must-visit for those looking to experience Vancouver’s natural beauty.

FlyOver Canada

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. Please note that while FlyOver Canada is a relatively gentle experience, it may not be suitable for those with a fear of heights, heart conditions, photosensitivity, or epilepsy due to the visuals and motion effects.
