One of the best things about staying on Robson Street is that when you wander out to the sidewalk there will be a steady flow of people. Not an insane crush of humanity, just a steady stream of folks. And not just West End residents on their way to and from work, but people from everywhere - Europe, Asia, The Americas. A veritable vertical mosaic of culture. Every one of them chatting, drinking endless lattes and cappucinos, and looking for a great bargain or the perfect sushi dinner. Listen carefully try to identify the languages - one local counted 19 just walking from Burrard to Jervis! So, aside from just drinking in the cosmopolitan feeling of this city, what else to do? Hop on a trolley, rent a bike, take a cab or just put on your best walking shoes and head out. Nothing worth seeing in Vancouver is more than 15-20 minutes away by some form of transportation or another. Take a stroll through Stanley Park, the largest city park in Canada. Hundreds of acres of lush green forest, pristine lakes and grassy meadows. Check out the family picnics at 2nd Beach, the cricket game at Brockton Oval, the water park at Lumberman's Arch, the rose gardens, dodge a marathoner on the 10 km seawall or befriend the adorable sea otters at the Vancouver Aquarium. If you're feeling ambitious, walk across Lions Gate Bridge and stop midway for a bird's-eye view of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains. Cypress, Grouse and Seymour are the major mountains you see and the source of endless outdoor activity. If you're game strap on your skis, lace up your skates or just tie up your hiking boots and head on up, way up! It's hard to believe that 100 years ago it was so quiet on Burrard Inlet you could holler across to call a ferry come and get you. Nowadays may we recommend the SeaBus as a preferred mode of transport across the inlet. From your comfortable vantage on this floating bus, take a gander at Canada's largest and busiest port.
