Public Transportation
TransLink operates buses, SkyTrain, and SeaBus services throughout the region. Public transit is a convenient way to explore downtown Vancouver, though service in parts of West Vancouver is more limited.

Things to do
Vancouver has so much to explore. Here are a few ideas for places to visit, eat, and spend time around the city.
Stanley Park
An iconic spot to visit in Vancouver. Walk or bike the seawall, explore the forest trails, and take in beautiful waterfront and mountain views.
Granville Island
A lively waterfront destination with a fantastic public market, local shops, artisan vendors, restaurants, and breweries. Be sure to stop by Lee’s Donuts in the Public Market for one of their famous donuts!
Queen Elizabeth Park & Bloedel Conservatory
Beautiful gardens, panoramic views of the city, and the Bloedel Conservatory, a tropical indoor garden filled with exotic plants and birds. A lovely spot for a relaxing afternoon.
La Belle Patate & Tom Sushi
A great casual spot for authentic Quebec-style poutine, smoked meat sandwiches, and a beer. Afterward, head down the street to Tom Sushi for some amazing sushi. Both are great neighborhood favorites!
Explore the Kitsilano Neighborhood
Take a stroll along the Kitsilano beach park, and stop for a meal at Au Comptoir or anywhere nearby. Kitsilano is also very close to Aberthau Mansion, making it an easy addition to your weekend.
Dim Sum in the Richmond Neighborhood
Richmond is home to some of the best dim sum in the region. Kirin Seafood is a standout. It’s a bit of a drive from downtown, but well worth it.
