A summer favorite among locals in Vancouver is patio hopping! Lots of the best Vancouver restaurants, breweries, and bars open outdoor patios and it’s a great way to spend an afternoon or evening. You can start from wherever you are and patio hop spontaneously around the city, or you can plan ahead. Here are some places I recommend checking out! Th...
While spending a few days in Vancouver, Stanley Park is a must-visit. It’s the most popular park in the city! Stanley Park is actually 405 hectares, which makes it the largest urban park in British Columbia. In fact, it’s actually larger than Central Park in New York, the most famous urban park in the world! There is a lot to see and do in Stanley ...
Quarry Rock is arguably the most popular easy hike in Vancouver. For that reason, I recommend trying to go during the week and avoiding the middle of the day. Starting from the cute little area in Deep Cove, North Vancouver, this out-and-back hike will take about 1.5 hours to complete. It starts with a bit of an incline and then levels out to a few...

The largest market in the Vancouver area is the Richmond Night Market, located close to the Bridgeport SkyTrain Station in Richmond, about twenty minutes south of the downtown core. It is a hugely popular, sprawling, and diverse Asian market, w...
No trip to Vancouver in the summer is complete without checking out Granville Island. For first-time visitors, Granville Island is an island accessed by either boat or car right in the downtown area. There is so much to see and do on Granville Islandbut my favorite is the bustling market! The market offers really fresh produce, meat, fish, souvenir...

The Capilano Suspension Bridge is the name of the entire area (including the huge bridge). Here, you can explore various trails through the forest and read information bo...
One of the best things to do with friends in Vancouver during summer is to rent a boat in Coal Harbor. I did this one summer and had so much fun exploring Indian Arm. The coastline around Vancouver is so beautiful and we even stopped for a swim – although the water is really cold! It costs around $200 CAD for a two-hour rental in the speed boat pic...
Doesn’t a sunset cruise in Vancouverjust sound fantastic? Nothing quite says you’re on holiday like dinner, drinks, and a magical Vancouver sunset, all while out on the water! A cruise on the harbor is fun on its own (and there are many different types of cruises to choose from in Vancouver), but to me, this sunset cruise, complete with dinner and ...
For an adrenaline-inducing adventure, try rock climbing while you’re in Vancouver in the summertime. The busy city is nestled between the towering mountains and the coast, meaning that there are many breathtaking trails, hikes, and, best of all, climbing spots! Less than half an hour from the downtown core, West Vancouver boasts two of the most ico...
We absolutely loved visiting the Sea to Sky Gondola located just outside of Vancouver on the road near Squamish. The views were out of this world and the gondola ride was very affordable considering how far up the mountain it took us! For only $71 CAD you can catch the gondolaup to a ridge next to Mount Habrich. The Sea to Sky Gondola is located in...
