City Guide
Skiing in winter makes Vancouver an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. It sits on the Rocky Mountains’ doorstep, with dark blue waters to the west, gleaming skyscrapers at its core and a foodie scene that’s been quietly climbing the ranks as one of the world’s best, thanks to the plethora of food trucks and fine-dining restaurants in every corner of the city.
Located within Minoru Park, Clement Track is an oval rubber track that’s open to the public free of charge.
A short bus ride from Granville Island is Book Warehouse, a family-owned shop along West Broadway. You can spend hours each time browsing the shelves for history books.
Sink into Coquille Fine Seafood’s shell-shaped, velvet-lined seats and tuck into dishes such as the Captain’s Platter – a delectable selection of local and sustainably sourced oysters, lobster tail and sea urchin. Barely a year old, the Gastown-based little sister of award-winning restaurant L’Abattoir is an inviting place to enjoy happy hour.
