Canada Attractions

Robson Street

They call it “The street that makes the city!” This vibrant shopping and dining district has been attracting thousands of people to the heart of Vancouver for more than 100 years. The eclectic mix of chic boutiques, high-end retailers, unusual and artistic goods, hip cafes and casual to exquisite dining draws a large diverse group of individuals to one of the city’s famous hot spots. (Back when the European flavor was denser, the street was called ‘Robsonstrasse’.)

Grouse Mountain

As one of Greater Vancouver’s best vantage points and most popular attractions, the North Shore’s Grouse Mountain provides a stunning view for skiers and tourists. Visitors are able to take the Skyride to the Peak Chalet and enjoy casual or fine dining cuisine. The Skyride is open all-year round.

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens

The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is tucked away behind protective walls in the middle of bustling Chinatown in Downtown Vancouver. It is a harmony of contrasts, of dark and light, solid and empty, hard and soft, straight and undulating, yin and yang. This place was created to be savoured over a lifetime.

Gastown

The most widely accepted view is that Gastown--Vancouver in embryo--gets its name from its most famous resident, ”Gassy Jack” Deighton. A competing, although weaker, claim is that a small pocket of natural gas in the area resulted in the name. You can discover the history of Gastown by visiting the following link.
