Exploring Vancouver day 2
In the morning, bike along the seawall in Stanley Park, enjoy lunch in the harbour and catch the sunset on the beach. If you have more time, check out Kitsilano. A trendy, laid-back area packed with cute stores, cafes and restaurants. The best thing about Kitsilano is its beach. Kits Beach is one of the city's most vibrant beaches.
Biking in Stanley Park
Start the day with a bicycle trip to Stanley Park to enjoy the view of Vancouver's skyline, the scent of pine and the sound of the sea. This is one of the favourite activities among locals and visitors alike. Pedal through Stanley Park, passing iconic landmarks such as the Totem Poles, Nine O'Clock Gun, Brockton Point, Girl in a Wetsuit, Prospect Point Lookout and Beaver Lake. Rent a bike from a local shop or opt for the convenience of Mobi by Shaw Go, Vancouver's public bike system. While a bit pricier, Mobi offers flexibility - simply drop your bike off at any station when you're ready to move on.
Lunch with a panoramic view at LIFT
If you rented a Mobi bike, place it in the bike station in Coal Harbour after your bicycle trip and have lunch in the marina. Head to LIFT in Coal Harbour for lunch in a captivating setting with views of Coal Harbour, Stanley Park and the Downtown skyline. LIFT seamlessly blends a chic atmosphere with the warmth of Vancouver hospitality. Indulge in seafood, sip on a glass of wine and watch the floatplanes land in the harbour.
Sunset on the beach
As the day winds down, make your way to Sunset Beach Park to witness the Engagement art installation: two giant diamond engagement rings crafted from plexiglass. Walk along the seawall to English Bay Beach, its serene shores are perfect to relax and watch the sun go down.
Ending the day with a cocktail at The Stock Room speakeasy
No better way to end a day full of sightseeing than with tasty cocktails! The Stock Room, located in Yaletown, isn't the easiest bar to find. Tucked behind Hundy Burger, the intimate setting in combination with the eclectic decor set the stage for a perfect nightcap, making it the ideal ending to a perfect day out in Vancouver.
