Fairmont Waterfront

Surrounded by mountains and the ocean, Vancouver is not just a world class city, but one in a breath-taking location. It is also the starting or ending point of two of the world’s most epic journeys – an Alaskan cruise and rail journeys on board Rocky Mountaineer.

Located within downtown, Stanley Park is a favourite for visitors and locals alike. The seawall is a 10km loop around the park with special views over the city, ocean, and mountains beyond. Walk or cycle the seawall stopping at the numerous beaches and cafes along the way. Granville Island is Canada’s second most visited attraction and is a haven for foodies and shoppers looking for unique gifts to take home. For those looking to get out on the ocean, this is the place to go with kayak rentals and boat trips looking for orcas all stationed on the island. Easily reachable by public transport or complimentary shuttles, are two of the north shore’s premier attractions: Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, with its 140m long bridge crossing the Capilano River 70m below and Grouse Mountain, reached by a scenic gondola ride.
