Vancouver Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Tom Bonavia -  expert
Tom Bonavia

Vancouver is a wonderful city for all. Lots of outdoor adventures on your doorstep for active people - cycling paths, running tracks or further out of the city you can attempt the Grouse Grind which is running up and down Grouse Mountain. This place is a foodie heaven especially in Gastown and Chinatown (the second biggest Chinatown in North America after San Francisco!)

Jessica Williams -  expert
Jessica Williams

It's very easy to fall in love with Vancouver, a friendly and vibrant city, there is something for everyone. We did quite a bit of chasing sunsets which were absolutely stunning - grab some fresh Vancouver sushi and head over to Whytecliff park (you might need a car) to watch the sunset over Bowen Island.
