6. Granville Island Vancouver

We spent Sunday checking out Granville Island & Stanley Park in Vancouver.

Stanley Park is a 1,000 acre park in the midst of urban Vancouver. OK, it was nice (and big!), but this New Yorker will take Central Park over Stanley Park any day.

Granville Island is a popular tourist destination which boasts a large public market featuring upscale clothing shop, eateries, artwork, trinkets, and a smattering of performing artists throughout the island. Lovely apartments, condos & homes overlook the marina, the boats of which share the waters with kayakers & paddleboarders. On the north end of the island, small ferries come and go, shuttling people to various spots along the False Creek waterway. It was a vibrant, lively scene!Baca lagi
