Insider Tips

  • Bike the Stanley Park seawall (10km loop) — rent bikes at Denman Street
  • Granville Island Public Market for lunch is tourist-heavy but genuinely excellent
  • Take the Sea-to-Sky Gondola in Squamish for jaw-dropping mountain views (45 min drive)
  • Richmond (20 min by SkyTrain) has the best Asian food outside of Asia
