Ways to tour Vancouver

Some people like shopping, others like walking, cycling and jogging, many like outdoor recreation, and some people just like eating and entertainment. We’re all different, which is why Vancouver’s best places and top things to do are different for different people. Hike around Squamish or shred some fresh powder on one of the many world-renowned slopes (Whistler, anyone). For those who prefer something more low-key, take in some live music at one of Vancouver’s ever-lively watering holes, browse the award-winning museums, or head out for a jog around Stanley Park.
