I had the pleasure of visiting my sisters in Vancouver over the weekend of the 20th of October (Friday through Monday). Here’s some of the fun discoveries during those days !
How to get there
- BC Ferries Connector : This handy bus service can help you arrive from Victoria. You will be picked up from one of the stops in Victoria (in my case, Capital City Station Downtown), and then you will board the ferry aboard the coach bus. Passengers move to the ferry decks 5, and 6 during the trip, and then must return to the bus to leave the ferry aboard the bus on the other side. My total fare (round trip) was around $150CAD
How to get around
- My sisters and I used the public transportation ( Skylink + Busses )
Cool places
- Lex ( I shared an AirBnb here w/ my sisters )
- Waterfront
- Canada Place
- Granville Island
- Robson Square
- Vancouver Aquarium ( Didn’t go in this time, but it sure is cool !)
Tasty Places to Eat
- Peaked Pies
- Granville Public Market (Lee’s Donuts, and other vendors)
- Pho Q & M
- Firecrust Pizza 🍕! (Met there w/ James and Jasmine who were in Vancouver to see a band play (Hozier))
Cool Attractions
- Aquabus – a little ferry between fisherman’s and waterfront (for me and my 2 sisters this came about $15 for a one-way trip)
- Renting bikes / e-scooters (@Stanley Park)(Freedom Bikes)
Cool Stores :
Remember to Bring
- An umbrella for the rain, a coat
