Some Quick Tips For Vancouver Vacations

By: Erick Arndt Home | Travel-and-Leisure


Heading to Canada this year? Vancouver is an exciting city to explore but you'll need to plan in advance so as not to miss out. What a shame it would be to get there and run out of time to hit the things you wanted to . Vancouver is a city known for it's culture, world class skiing, art, food, and hospitality is not one to be missed. Vancouver is a lively city with much to do. It has a more west coast feel and is a completely different experience than Montreal or Quebec . So if you have been to either one of those, you'll have to come here. Here are my thoughts on what not to miss when you are there and where and what to eat.

Vancouver Aquarium - One of the best aquariums we have been to. You'll be immersed in the amazing sealife they have on display here like the beluga whale, dolphins and sea otters. You get the feeling that these amazing mammals are being treated better than you with private dieticians and an on-campus veterinarians to give them the highest level of care without having to go anywhere.

Vacations aren't always about amusement parks and rollercoasters. We want to make sure we enjoy the area like the locals. If you're like us, I suggest Lynn Canyon Park. I suggest you pack some local food (cheese, bread, wine, fruit) and head on over to this beautiful park. You'll love it. I suggest seeing the suspension bridge. I think it's the biggest or close to the biggest in the world. And it's free!

Granville Island - You can spend the entire day here as a couple or with the family. This area of the city used to be an industrial park. Now it's all redone with lots of outdoor (weather permitted) restaurants, beautiful architecture, and shopping. Take the time to sit back and relax and enjoy this unique section of town.

Sea to Sky Highway - Driving this highway will be quite memorable for you. It's a beautiful drive. You'll have the gorgeous mountains on the right and the Pacific Ocean on the other side . It's a great scenic ride.

Vancouver Food - I have noticed that Indian and French cuisine is quite popular here in Vancouver . You have your standard pubs and sports bars but these cuisines are unique and as far as I have seen they are done quite well. I am not a huge fan of either cuisine so I prefer other places. I prefer fish and stir fry dishes so if you're like me head over to "Tojo's" for great sushi and great service. We are never disappointed by the food or service.

For a different type of vacation, I hope you'll consider Vancouver this year. If not, I hope you won't miss out of this in the very near future. Vancouver is an exciting city to explore but there's so much to do you'll need to spend some time planning first. And it doesn't matter how you get there, whether trading with RCI.com or Interval World, timeshare vacations make even the best destinations like Vancouver that much better. I hope to see you there!
