What to See In Vancouver! (2025) | Travel Guide

[@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!

What city do you live in now???

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@VisitVancouverCanada]

Great Video on what to see in Vancouver. As you know you have only skimmed the surface in this great city. Very well done sir!

[@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?

[@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.

Still cheap compared to Switzerland :D

[@robertrobidoux3725]

I live in Vancouver for 12 years,your video is perfect even when you say that the buildings in Whistler look fake,the people there are fake too!! Great job with you video🤣

[@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

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.

@@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.

Not mentioned is the Capilano fish hatchery (esp. during the salmon run) in North Vancouver and climbing the Chief in Squamish. In Nov-Dec it's worth seeing the bald eagles gather on the Harrison River. Also Othello Tunnels in Hope, Alexandra Bridge near Spuzzum, gold panning at the waterfront in Yale, (All of these things are free.)

I live here and it is is very good city. I like the rain and it does not get to hot or cold. I can’t imagine living in Calgary or Toronto with -15 in the winders or +40 in the summers.

[@chadd980]

A Torontonian here 👋🏽. It doesn't last long. But every winter at some point it normally gets much colder than -15. It'll always hit at least -20 to -25 for a week or so each winter. I'm always jealous when I see the temp in Vancouver!

[@koonchan2241]

It's a good place which is why it is more expensive to live here than Calgary or even Toronto. The non stop rainy days though are very depressing, especially in the winter with short day light hours.

[@lolamar6064]

@@koonchan2241 it only became expensive before the olympics. My brother in law is an architect here and he told me that the Asian market destroyed all affordability when they put their laundered money into our market. In the 90's you could buy a house for under 300k, weather has nothing to do with it.

[@koonchan2241]

@@lolamar6064 300k in the 90s is not the same amount as now. Laundered money or not, the government is interested in the money inflow and turned a blind eye on it. It is actually around 2013 or so that housing became expensive. Depending on how you look at it, if you have a property before that, you net worth would have doubled on paper.

[@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.

[@belowtwenty]

A few notes from someone who lives in Vancouver: The steam clock is super overrated, it's not even powered by steam. No idea why it's a tourist attraction at all lol. English Bay Beach is nice but it's not the biggest. Spanish Banks is way bigger and is my personal favourite. This video didn't mention the SkyTrain! Or the SeaBus! It's a great affordable way to travel around the city and get an amazing view at the same time. Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is free! It's a good budget friendly alternative to Capilano. The Whistler village is by far the least interesting part of Whistler. Just skip it and go ride the gonola up the mountain and enjoy the view. Lots of short hikes you can do up there as well. Whistler is very doable as a day trip but you can't take too many stops along the way otherwise you will run out of time haha. Your footage of skiing at Grouse Mountain, Garibaldi Lake and Joffre Lakes were all random other places. Garibaldi Lake is a backcountry lake high in the mountains, there are no sail boats up there lmao. If you're going hiking, make sure you are prepared for the conditions. Do some research ahead of time. Lots of people hike underprepared and end up needing search and rescue to come get them.
