Take a carriage ride
Get some perspective
Step aboard an old-fashioned horse-drawn
vehicle and meander in comfort through the
natural beauty of Stanley Park, Vancouver's
number-one attraction.
Located in the downtown Harbour Centre,
the Vancouver Lookout, at a height of
130 metres (430 feet), is the perfect place
to survey the city and plan – or reflect upon
– your day.
Keep your eye on the ball
From views of the city to grand vistas of
Georgia Strait and the Coast Mountains,
nearly all of Vancouver's dozens of top-notch
golf courses are framed by majestic scenery.

showcase contemporary master carvings,
basketry, glasswork, jewelry and more. And
