There are plenty of sites in Vancouver and getting around to seeing them
all is easy. If you're staying in the city (and you probably are) you
can walk to most attractions. The Vancouver Museum highlights the growth
and development of Vancouver from an outpost of fishing and forestry to
a world class city. Science World is a great spot to take the kids so
they can experience the interactive exhibitions and see an eye-popping
OMNIMAX presentation. Adults will appreciate spending the time on
Granville Island, a former dingy collection of rusty warehouses now
transformed into galleries, shops, artists' studios and home to a
thriving public market the perfect place to pick up provision for a
picnic. The best place to start your visit is Vancouver Lookout at
Harbour Centre. Take a 45 second ride up a glass elevator to arrive at a
spectacular 360° view of the city, the surrounding communities, the
harbour and the mountains beyond. On a clear day you may even see
Vancouver Island. What you notice most when you re perched above the
city is how green it is. As the city developed over the years, a large
tract of forest was set aside, over 1,000 acres, destined to remain wild
and serve as a reminder of whence the city originated. So began Stanley
Park. Located right in the heart of the city, this green sanctuary is
crisscrossed with walking trails and surrounded by English Bay and a 6
mile seawall - a lovely place for a stroll at sunset. Within the park
are tennis courts, playgrounds, a miniature golf course, restaurants,
snack bars and cafes, the Vancouver Aquarium, the Lost Lagoon where you
can feed ducks and raccoons, swimming beaches, a pool, a miniature
railroad for the kids, totem poles and a cannon that goes off precisely
at 9 PM each evening. The capital of British Columbia is located at the
tip of Vancouver Island, across the Straight of Georgia from Vancouver.
Very British in nature, Victoria has the mildest climate in all of
Canada. You can get to Victoria by taking the 1 1/2 hour ferry ride from
Tsawwassen, in south Vancouver to Swartz Bay, about a half an hour from
Victoria. Whatever adventure you choose in this corner of Western
Canada, the STREETWISE(R) Vancouver Map will assist you. The main map
covers all of Downtown along with Stanley Park, Gastown, Chinatown, West
End, Yaletown and Granville Island. A separate inset map of the central
downtown area highlights hotels, sites, SKYTRAIN stations, shopping,
government and educational sites and the cruise ship terminal, where
cruises to Alaska start and end. A map of the Vancouver area extends
from the southern suburb of Richmond to North and West Vancouver, from
Burnaby to Sea Island, including the Vancouver International Airport.
All major highways and thoroughfares are depicted along with exit
numbers and sites. An inset of the University of BC campus is included
as well as an inset of downtown Victoria, BC. Our pocket size map of
Vancouver is laminated for durability and accordion folding for
effortless use. To enhance your visit to Vancouver, check out the
