What a beautiful city like this..

[@agcons]

With respect to Whistler: it was not built just for the Olympics; it has been there for decades. It was absolutely designed to look the way it does, as were a number of other BC ski resort towns.

[@ClearKnowingFeelingHearing]

Yeah like Silver Star

[@jaredtidwell2490]

Came here to say the same thing. I was there in 2007 before the Olympics!

[@olivertang33]

as a native vancourite... this is literally the most touristy overview of Vancouver

[@ignaciojesusmarronamador1352]

Hello I’m planning to go to Vancouver this September! Any local recommendations?

[@vorjay]

riiiight. "What to See In Vancouver! (2020) | Travel Guide" have no idea why it's a touristy overview.

[@BM-if9zn]

OMG, I was there 20 years ago and this video just reminded why I have been wanting to go back. A BEAUTIFUL city. Thank you!

[@a.t.m3489]

I met a girl named Fan

[@mannyjimz721]

What city do you live in now???

[@PitboyHarmony1]

The bird in the Garden is a Blue Heron, they are all over Vancouver near the water.

[@kayak2hell]

There is a colony of herons with dozens of nests beside the tennis courts in Stanley Park. Worth checking out between April-July to see the baby herons.

[@frankbaumann9063]

I was 2 Time in Vancouver BC and i Love this great City. I will Go Back to this beautiful City.

[@the6ig6adwolf]

What I learned from this video: Vancouver is great if you like Instagram.

[@jaygray7102]

The first image they show of a park and downtown - isn't Vancouver

[@the6ig6adwolf]

@@jaygray7102 yes it is. Pause the video and look again.

[@jaygray7102]

@@the6ig6adwolf Where's Georgia Street or Lost Lagoon on the downtown side of Stanley Park?

[@the6ig6adwolf]

@@jaygray7102 What size screen are you looking at? Lost Lagoon (the dirty brown water) is in the middle left side next to Stanley Park pitch and putt. Canada Place can be seen in the shot, you can see where Davie meets Denman at the bottom of the hill. Harbor Tower can be seen....should I keep going? It's all there but I will agree that the shot is from an angle that isn't used often.

[@jaygray7102]

@@the6ig6adwolf Yes, please go on and on and on because none of the things you say are clearly, or otherwise, visible...are. The muddy water (centre of picture) could be Lost Lagoon. What you're saying is...the causeway isn't in the picture at all, nor is Georgia St. The only thing I see that looks like it MIGHT be white sails are not clearly visible - I have to use my imagination to see them, they're barely poking above another building IF that's even what I'm looking at. I see something that could be the Harbor Tower but there's more than one city with a building that's virtually identical. Still don't see Davie or anywhere it's supposed to be connecting to Georgia. Guess people will just have to use their imagination.

[@ruslamp2838]

I'm hopefully visiting Vancouver with my mother this summer; I fell in love with the city once I looked into it. As a European, this will be my first visit to the American continent.

[@jayalations]

As somebody who lives in Vancouver, I am sure you will enjoy it!

[@redindian2209]

I'll be going there one day too i say god willing.good luck in your endeavour.... i hope you find your wishes right there

[@alijafar4380]

This got me addicted for Vancouver dose

[@fraserhenderson7839]

Great Blue Heron

[@nickr8627]

perfect, I think it's about time to visit again, thanks for reminding me how beautiful this place is!

[@zAmerxiast]

As a local Vancouverite, if you want to go somewhere close for skiing, I recommend Mt. Seymour and Cypress, and not Grouse mountain or whistler. The reason is that whistler is a bit farther than the other three mountains, and for Grouse mountain, you are forced to rely on using the gondola to reach the very top or back to the bottom. The lines can get painfully long, sometimes taking around 1-2 hours at worst, even if it's at 10pm On the hand, Mt. Seymour and Cypress don't require you to use the gondola as all you need to do is to drive up to the top. But anyways, this doesn't necessarily mean that you shouldn't go to Grouse Mountain or Whistler at all since they are really beautiful mountains.

[@joerotunno4819]

Hi, I am going to Vancouver for vacation this winter. It is my first time ever going to Vancouver. We are looking to ski, however, we are fairly new to skiing. What would be the closest mountain from downtown Vancouver and how long does that take?

[@yanlukard3666]

O man love the video work and representation, amazing stuff bro!

[@marionsommer7723]

The Bird is a “Blue Heron” I live in Chilliwack BC and we have a lot of these beautiful birds ❤

[@maximuslongrod6361]

People don’t realize how far apart our towns are in bc. Or Canada for that matter. It’s amazing to think that all of the uk can fit in bc. We are so used to the long drives we don’t think of it much.

[@ClearKnowingFeelingHearing]

Wow ALL of the UK can fit in just BC? I didn’t realize it was THAT small

[@catherinemiceli7737]

An alternative to Capilano suspension bridge -- a little smaller but completely free of charge -- is Lynn Canyon suspension bridge.

[@2ddw]

Now here is someone who knows what they're talking about. Of course, you don't have the cliff walk, or tree top stuff but FREE. Oh, and the bridge is much more, how should one put it,... "thrilling".

[@kayak2hell]

Agreed, Lynn Canyon suspension bridge is free and has a waterfall below and beside it. Also, the 45 minute loop from the suspension bridge to twin falls is a very scenic hike through a gorgeous douglas fir rain forest.

Great compilation of beautiful places and scenery of Vancouver, great job.

[@turbo6780]

I’m Finnish now living in Finland but I was born in Vancouver. I miss my hometown❤😢

[@HelenaVanCity]

There is SO MUCH MORE to see in Vancouver! It's an AWESOME place to visit and live. But for those of you who think about moving there, the city is CRAZY expensive! You'd better have an inheritance or a job that pays at least 60K a year, seriously.

[@Explore-Your-City]

This is a great compilation of places to visit in Vancouver. Good job!

[@nerdygameinggurl]

honestly so excited to move there going to be a life time adventure.

amazing job on the video, saw and learned about all the things to focus on when being in vancouver.

[@DidrickNamtvedt]

I´m Norwegian and Canada is definitely on my bucket list of countries to visit in the future. Both Vancouver and British Columbia sound and look absolutely amazing despite the expensive prices. I´d definitely love to go someday, thanks for sharing this amazing video with us! :)

[@kyles5513]

I live in British Columbia and have my whole life and I also work all over the country and the best pace I've been is British Columbia but more specifically the southern gulf islands (small islands between Vancouver and Vancouver Island) I've lived there for a few years and still visit regularly. Most chill, laid back lifestyle ie ever experienced.

[@EasternUNO]

Still cheap compared to Switzerland :D

[@tealduos1598]

I like your commentary style, it's kind and calm.

[@CowboyBoomBoomSlim]

Holy moly, what a city! I'll most likely be moving to Vancouver within the next few months to work at Sony Imageworks and I simply cannot believe my own luck. Not just for this job opportunity but also to be living in this stunningly beautiful city! I've been living in Rotterdam for nearly all my life and one and a half years in Poland, but Vancouver.. definitely the big winner by the looks of it.

[@elfabbian3953]

Good luck bro

[@marcrchz]

Honestly it's not as great as it seems at all.

[@CowboyBoomBoomSlim]

@@marcrchz No? What don't you like about, aside from the weather? ;)

[@marcrchz]

@@CowboyBoomBoomSlim The weather isn't really the bad part at all. Vancouver looks shiny from all these videos, but the reality is different. One of the bad things is the infrastructure. The "downtown island" is a really tiny place, but there are cars and stroads everywhere despite so many people. There is hardly a place to relax outside as a human outside of waterfront or the beach. Cars have to go through everywhere, it's extremely loud and it stinks, the limited space is rather designed for cars other than humans. It's hard to walk through anywhere downtown without feeling stressed. The worst thing is probably the poor people. Vancouver is full of poor people and has a huge drug problem. There is this smell everywhere. East downtown is the worst area and you don't want to be there at any time of the day, but it's also outside. You see these rich immigrants who can basically buy a life in Vancouver by buying a permanent resident status if they are rich enough to invest half a million in a company, and they drive these loud luxury cars through the city while the poor and/or drug addicted people lay there. Any foreigner can also just buy property there, so things are crazy expensive and native people from Vancouver move away because they can't afford it. On that side Vancouver just feels like a playground for the rich foreigners and the poor watch it from outside. The people also seem very cold and not so friendly and happy as they tell you. Of course the city is build on foreigners wich isn't really a terrible thing at all, but i could barely hear english anywhere, and can't see much of that culture at all. That is why Vancouver might not be as great at all compared to any other european city.

[@CowboyBoomBoomSlim]

I really appreciate you sharing this with me. For the last few months I've been connecting with people, made and reconnected with valuable friends and tbh I find it more and more difficult to leave the country. I would be working on the big titles which would be a dream coming true but now that my life has finally started to become more fun, I don't know if I'm ready to say goodbye to it already. You gave me something to think about so thank you for that.

Vancouver suits me more as I am more of an outdoor person. My dog is going to love it too! I am going to be releasing a video soon about the challenges of moving during Pandemic. But, if it's your dream to live in Vancouver, I say go for it!

[@freedomtraveler3407]

Thank you for making a beautiful video of my beautiful city. It is a good introductory tour of Vancouver, covers all the must-see places. However it is misleading to say that it takes 4 hrs to drive to Whistler, it is only an hour and the half the most. You took 4 hours because you must have stopped at many places along the way. Taking a Sea-to-Sky gondola up the mountain, stopping at Shannon Falls or Whytecliff Park ? Horseshoe Bay ? Why do you think Whistler Village is "fake"? It is built for tourists, so it is full of restaurants, shops and many hotels. Yes, anyone planning to visit Vancouver must reserve at least 2 weeks, to see them all.
