Guidebook for Vancouver
Parks & Nature
Parque Stanley
610 Pipeline RdFormer Lululemon CEO, Chip Wilson, starts every morning by climbing this mountain. It is a rite of passage for every Vancouverite. Try it out for yourself. It's a 20 minute bike ride to get there from our doorstep, or a 10 minute drive over the bridge. The views from the top are worth the grind.

Walking the sea wall is a sacred ritual for locals. The smell of ocean mixed with the Stanley Park forest is heavenly and the scenery and wildlife that you will encounter is majestic. It's about a 90 minute walk around the park, or 45 minute bike ride or rollerblade. It's definitely on the top five list things you must do in Van. And a total bonus that it's on your doorstep.

Sightseeing
The Vancouver aquarium is among the top attractions in the city. It's probably on your list already, particularly if you have a young family with you. Most visitors we'll be scrambling for parking, but lucky you… It's only a 15 minute walk from the townhouse! ; )

You can't come to Vancouver and not go to Granville Island. You can even get there without a car. Just follow the seawall and hop on one of the cute little foot ferries that takes you directly there.
