Sightseeing

Free alternative to that more famous suspension bridge. The bridge is not as fancy, but you can't beat the price, and the view is gorgeous.

旅行者建议

携带物品

Prepare for rain

Vancouver is located in a temperate rainforest, so it's lush and green and gets... you guessed it, rain. Year-round. You will want a raincoat, hat, or umbrella, and towels if a Guest Dog is accompanying you.
出行

Bike sharing!

If you ride, mobi bike share is a great way for visiors to get around town. Pick up a bike at one of the nearby stations, drop it off at another station wherever you're headed. There are stations throughout central Vancouver. Remember to pack your raingear! https://www.mobibikes.ca/en#the-map
出行

Easy transit

Transit in Vancouver is easy. There's a #7 bus stop a block away - a faster route than the #20. Broadway-Commercial Skytrain station is 12 blocks away. No need to count your change - buses and skytrain are equipped with credit card tap.
