This was one of the best travel videos I've seen. I watch lots of them whenever we travel. I especially liked that you showed the destinations of each place on the map before describing it. I really appreciate the helpful hints at the end. Thanks for all the great places to see in Vancouver.

[@annle9671]

Vancouver is even more beautiful between : -march 23 and April 14. This is our cherry blossoms season with CB festivals and thousands of cherry blossoms in downtown. -July 25-Aug 3 where thousands of us go to the beach and watch fireworks from different countries -oct where the maple leaves turns bright red and orange.

[@adanrivera744]

What bout round Christmas time?

[@WholeWorld100]

Let’s be honest. Canada’s BEST city. Not “one of”. Hands down. And I’m not even from BC. I don’t want to hear crying about prices either, I’m well aware. It’s still the BEST city in Canada. Period. Thank you.

[@user-em3mi2uw1i]

As a resident of Vancouver I recommend also visiting Whistler, Victoria and Tofino in the summer!

[@worldwildhearts]

Yes absolutely! ☺️

[@griselysmartinezluna2399]

Thank you!

[@ManhattanProject9]

I'm planning on coming to Vancouver this summer, and thinking about day-trips. How do you feel about Sea to Sky Gondola?

[@user-em3mi2uw1i]

@@ManhattanProject9 The sea to sky gondala is good and fun but also is a 1-2 hour drive from downtown. Simular things that are closer to the city are Cypress, Grouse and Seymour. And dont go to kits beach since it is packed instead got to Jerico beach witch is very simular. Ask me for more places.

[@scottallpress3818]

Heading there next week , hitting all your spots ! Glad a locals mentioned the same spots

[@Michaelweiz1990]

I have been to Vancouver and Vancouver Island recently and I was trravveling alone.... It was incredibly beautiful!!

I've never been to Vancouver or even Canada for that matter but Vancouver is definitely on my list. That steam clock in Gastown was super cool! I've never been whale watching either. I get so excited whenever I see 🐬dolphins so I'm sure I would be ecstatic to see a 🐋whale! 🐪🧭🌎

[@worldwildhearts]

Yeah I think you’d like the whales if you like dolphins! They’re so majestic 😍 we hope you’ll make it to Canada and Vancouver one day! 😄

​@@lukebandy516 Mexico is better than Canada. Vancouver, and the whole country are boring. There is a complete lack of culture and everything is overpriced. Mass immigration invasion is ruining Canada too.

Absolutely loved this video! 🇨🇦 Vancouver has been on my travel radar for a while, and your detailed guide just bumped it to the top of my list. The mix of stunning natural beauty, city vibes, and those travel tips are pure gold. Thanks for showing us the best of Vancouver, and now I'm even more excited to plan my trip.

The name has been changed to Hongcouver since the takeover by the Chinese. Why did we let this happen?

[@soundwave3739]

In the past few months I have been watching videos about moving to Australia I came across this masterpiece I have to admit that you guys do things on a completely different level what a wonderful way to explain about the city I’m amazed that Vancouver is actually one of the most beautiful cities that I have ever seen and thinking to visit and maybe move there thanks again and keep up the good work ❤

[@worldwildhearts]

Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate it!! 😄 Australia is very high on our bucket list as well. We're thinking of going there next year!!

[@QuizWizHouse]

Amazing ❤

Im instantly interesting with Vancouver, never put this city on my list before

[@michellemccloskey8136]

No don’t go

[@robinwade2547]

Most of the provincial parks close to Vancouver require reservations they are free to book online at the BC Parks website but they fill up fast and spots are limited

I went to visited Canada when I was 1 year old, I don't remember everything. Also, I went to visited Canada in early September 2012. I live in United States, Washington.

I really want to visit Canada! How’s Vancouver in late November?

[@Brandon-tv2nf]

Last try before jumping off of the golden gate bridge

[@stephanevu-hoang1014]

Wow! You guys are so fortunate! Is September a good time to visit Vancouver? Can we actually come across wild grizzlies there?

[@worldwildhearts]

September is generally still a good time! That’s when we visited as well. You won’t spot any wild grizzlies in the city. But you might encounter some black bears in the nature areas around the city

[@stephanevu-hoang1014]

@@worldwildhearts I heard of black bears raiding cities in Canada. It won't put me off by no stretch. How much would a fortnight cost us? £2000?

Just watch a drug doc on this place and now I’m seeing this

Can anyone tell me if there is any school coming up in Vancouver naming Rose River School???

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Dude, you really need to record your voice for those relaxation/meditation alarm clocks...lol.

[@worldwildhearts]

Lol good back-up plan!;)

[@Kepler_Mission]

I want to visit, but im terrified. Can anyone please clear uo what the drug issue is in Vancouver right now? Ive seen its progressively getting much worse. What are some advices before going? What places are safe to visit and which should i avoid? Is the drug problem as bad as what is being projected through social media, or is it only in one certain location? Thank you for your patience and answers.

[@worldwildhearts]

We were just there in September and didn't have any issues. Just make sure to avoid the sketchy areas (link is in the description below our video to an article with all the areas mentioned). As long as you're not taking part in the drug abuse / scene, it shouldn't be a worry. And that counts for any major city around the world

[@Kepler_Mission]

@@worldwildhearts Thank you for this!

[@pele939]

Don’t worry, 😂. It’s not like that, they’re most likely to blazed to even pull up on you. Unless your brittle, you could probably fend them off.

[@stefandee1970]

Dont go

[@Patrick-tw7nr]

Is Lynn Canyon Suspension bridge open now?

[@worldwildhearts]

It was when we were there in September! Maybe check their website to see if there would be a closure

[@PandaBangkokThailand]

Plan to visit in April 2025

[@adanrivera744]

Hows Van in december toward the end of month??

cold and rainy 😅

Looks better than hawaii 😂

Tapestry 😅

[@PhishFighters]

I can do drugs here right! All I have to do is just take it from a nodding out druggie I’m in!!

If you actually want to get in trouble, then go ahead… stay away from this scene and you’ll be safe

[@rick_chong6688]

Vancouver have a lot drugs

[@bcdave91]

Too bad vancouver has turned into a congested dump. It used to be a nice city. Nowadays, you can't even see the sun (never mind the mountains) because of the ugly tall buildings. Meanwhile, crime and homeless are out of control. The people in Vancouver live like pigs and send their garbage elsewhere and water is becoming a scarce resource. But when compared to a lot of USA cities, it's probably OK, but most real Canadians have higher standards.

[@corylee2966]

Best thing about van is not being there. Drug capital of western canada.

[@rubyantoinette9443]

who ever posted this is n sending someone to hurt for who mi follow on line. talk about calling people animals and threats all day long is a crime FAFO

[@axelxan]

Vancouver city of drugs

[@jeanbolduc5818]

Vancouver is a rainy city from October to April ..... more than 1,200 ml in November .... poor night life , capital of homeless, drugs and crimes .... 50 % asian , no Canadian culture

[@pele939]

😂😂😂😂😂 So true, this is definitely a place where people live.

[@werrutkyupnext]

Yeah it’s bad but why point out 50% asian??

[@IXXVIIVII]

@jeanbolduc5818 The east is far colder and snowier in those months, even in the USA. The rain is minor and it varies for the other 7 months and hardly rains July to September lately. Night life is also depending on you, because Canadian culture is there if you look. I’ve been across Canada to compare.

[@helisean10]

​@@werrutkyupnext because it is 50% Asian lol there is no real Canadian culture here. We are not even allowed to move to China but Canada has the door wide open. It sucks.
