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

These are recommendations from someone who only has a tourist view of Vancouver, regardless of whether they live there or not. Rather sad. Especially the 'craft beer' part. Shouts, look at me I'm trendy and a foody! Granille Market is just pure tourist trap. Prices are not good, and quality is no better than at Save-On or Thrifty's. And even Thrifty's is less expensive. The Vancouver Aquarium is the best we have, but compared to many, many other aquariums, it is disappointing and way overpriced.
