If it's the outdoors you love, you’ll love Vancouver. If its cities you love, you’ll love Vancouver. Vancouver, a beautiful city in Canada’s vast state of British Columbia in the west, has an array of parks, creeks and mountains right on its doorstep. The city's North Shore offers mountain, winter sports and rainforest adventures, and its central parks offer sanctuary to wild evergreens and boast dramatic views of nearby snow capped mountains. In Vancouver’s bustling centre, you’ll find incredible historical tours and inner city neighbourhoods that will keep you busy for days. Brightsun Travel has cheap tickets to Vancouver from UK all year round so you can experience a city break with a difference this holiday.
Stanley Park
In the central Stanley Park, a 1000 acre park on Vancouver’s waterfront, you can stroll along the edge of the Pacific on its Seawall path, or cycle around its beautiful interior and spot a range of Canadian wildlife.
Grouse Mountain
Grouse Mountain is a favourite spot for winter sports in Vancouver, offering family friendly ski and snowboard runs. At Christmas the slopes come alive with Christmas celebrations, and its setting provides the perfect Christmas Day backdrop.
Vancouver Island
From Vancouver you can take a spectacular side trip to the idyllic Vancouver Island, which sits on the Pacific Ocean, and explore the Pacific Rim National Park, surf the Cox Bay Beach, one of Canada’s best, and stay at luxurious 5 star lodges in Tofino, surrounded by Canadian wilderness.
Inner-city Neighbourhoods
In Vancouver you can explore former industrial areas like Yaletown, where, in expansive lofts, you will find a range of cutting edge boutiques and contemporary bars to enjoy. Or head to Chinatown for late night cocktails and some seriously good ethnic food.
Historical Tours
In the famous Museum of Anthropology you can learn about the history of Vancouver and its First Nation people, the native tribes of Canada, and enjoy some of the region’s most important indigenous art works. In Gastown you can explore old cobbled streets lined with shops, bars and restaurants.
When to go
If its skiing you are after, head to Vancouver in the winter months of December and January, and make the most of its snow capped mountains and ski resorts close to the city centre, including those at the famous Grouse Mountain. May and June and September, when temperatures are around 18 degrees and rainfall is 50% lower than the rest of the year, is perhaps the best time to experience all that the city has to offer.
