Things to do in Vancouver
Click here for a list of Vancouver Scenic Tours and Day-Trip Ideas.Wander the streets of Metro Vancouver and you'll hear a dozen different languages - from Tagálog at a colourful local marketplace to Thai at one of the many internationally acclaimed restaurants. You may recognize Chinook jargon while dancing at a popular May Day festival or hear old friends chattering in Croatian while shopping on Commercial Drive. Metro Vancouver is a modern, multicultural metropolis that showcases tastes, cultures, art and influences from around the world. At the same time, Metro Vancouver is distinctly West Coast Canadian with a laid back attitude and a rugged wilderness backdrop.
Metro Vancouver is made up of the municipalities surrounding the city of Vancouver on and around the Fraser River delta, forming the third largest metropolitan area in Canada. The people are active, friendly and proud to call this place home. The longer you stay, the more you begin to recognize the characters that make the place unique: the elderly man who sells fish off the back of his boat in Steveston Village, the artist at Granville Island who once danced at Woodstock, the hotel owner who runs triathlons on the weekends.
In any month that you visit Metro Vancouver there will be a festival or event taking place. In January, it's the Polar Bear Swim (a New Year's Day tradition since 1920) which kicks off the year with an icy dip in English Bay. In the springtime, Metro Vancouverites celebrate the beautiful pink cherry blossoms that dust the newly sprouted grass. In late summer, fireworks and face painting honour British Columbia Day. And in December, carolers dressed in historical winter costumes spread holiday spirit. There are exciting events to take in during all twelve months of the year.
After hosting the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Metro Vancouver is equipped with some outstanding sports venues. Go skating on a sheet of ice that met the skates of an Olympic gold medalist!
