Vancouver, Canada

If you do one thing in Vancouver, explore Stanley Park.

  • More about your Oliver Guide:
  • Trip type: Family, City

to & from

  • Direct flights SFO to YVR.   It is about a 2 hour drive from the Seattle airport (depending on border crossing). If coming from one of the Islands to the West, use the network of car ferries.
  • RENT A CAR. Last we were there, no Uber or Lyft. FInding a taxi is tough. You have to go to taxi stands which are not well marked and often have a long wait.
  • It's a beautiful walking neighborhood.

Where to Stay

Lots of great hotels in Yaletown and Gastown for a truly urban experience. Last we went, we rented an Airbnb house in Riley Park, which is a wonderful residential neighborhood with a great high street for shopping and dining.
