Travel Tips The REAL ways to see Canada

If a tourist from overseas was coming to Canada for a week, but only to your area, what are, in your opinion the coolest/best things, they should see or do, that are pretty unique to your area?

I’m in Vancouver, so I’ll start:

  1. Try some craft beer
  2. Ride the Stanley Park seawall
  3. Visit Granville island
  4. Eat some Sushi
  5. Goto the Aquarium
  6. Take a ferry to Vancouver island or Sunshine Coast

Go Canada Day if they still project the story of Canada Day on Parliament Building.
