4 amazing places in Vancouver

Hey there…

Have you ever been to Vancouver, Canada?  If not you forfeited a lot of fun. Vancouver is amazing and the most diverse and cosmopolitan city I have ever been to.  I stayed there for about 3 months as my aunt lives there. If you once travel to Canada, remember me and the 4 following places I recommend to visit.

1. Queen Elizabeth Park 

It's placed on a little hill and it will not take more than 20 minutes to get there from Vancouver Downtown by bus. Once you have reached the top of the hill you will have a breathtaking view of Vancouver and the surrounding area. Besides the primary route, a lot of narrow paths will lead you through the beautiful park. There are several attractions included in the park like a modern Celebration Pavilion, some fascinating fountains and an exciting floral conservatory. 

2. The Lookout Tower

It is centrally located in the downtown of Vancouver and facilitates a 360 aerial view from 168,8 metres height. A glass elevator takes you within 40 seconds to the panoramic observation deck, where the unique scenery can be admired.You are above all skyscrapers and you have a clear view of the streets. Everything looks so small like it was a miniature edition of Vancouver. Moreover, the intern restaurant provides the guests with high quality cuisine and the restaurant can be reserved for private events. At night the city changes into a beautiful colorful and lighted place. It is one of the most touristy attractions in Vancouver you should not miss when travelling there.

3. Sunset Beach

As visible from the name, Sunset Beach is famous for its stunning sunsets. Located in the West End of Vancouver, Sunset Beach is a a popular gathering place for all kinds of people. Artists share their music and everybody is invited to join them. There is no beach with such a  welcoming atmosphere except Sunset Beach. In summer the water temperature reaches 16 to 22 degrees Celsius which is suitable to go for a swim. In winter the sand is covered with a layer of snow which gives a special aura.

4. Capilano Suspension Bridge

The Capilano Suspension Bridge is located in North Vancouver and crosses  the Capilano River in a dizzy height of 70 metres. You will need to keep your balance while crossing the 140 long suspension bridge  as it will be very shaky. However, it is a lot of fun. The bridge is the center of a whole adventure park built around it. Other attractions are for example the Treetop Adventure where several trees are linked by small suspension bridges or guided tours through the forest.
