Vancouver City + The Lookout Tour
"Celebrated as Vancouver’s first official green space, Stanley Park compliments the business of the city with an expansive array of forest, field and path known as Stanley Park. Driving through the park you will experience life on the Vancouver Seawall where runners, walkers and cyclists all stretch their legs along this barrier protecting the shores from erosion. Stanley Park is a true wonderland of forest attractions including the quaint Teahouse Restaurant, views of the endless Pacific Ocean over sandy shores, even an outdoor summer theatre."

"Stanley Park is a treasure set on almost 1,000 acres in central Vancouver. The city’s first and biggest park is a place to relax with a bike ride on 8.8 kilometers (5.5 miles) of the seawall along English Bay. Meanwhile, 27 kilometers (16.7 miles) of trails through a rainforest beckon visitors who prefer a more leisurely pace as they stop to enjoy wildlife, such as the hundreds of species of birds that call the park home."

"The city's highest point – 550ft (167m) above sea level and with panoramic views over the mountain-framed downtown skyscrapers – the 128.5-acre (52-hectare) Queen Elizabeth Park claims to house specimens of every tree native to Canada. Sports fields, manicured lawns and formal gardens keep residents happy, and you'll likely also see wide-eyed couples posing for their wedding photos in particularly picturesque spots. This is a good place to view local birdlife: keep your eyes peeled for chickadees, hummingbirds and huge bald eagles whirling high overhead."
Mentioned by Fairmont Waterfront
Vancouver Parks Guide
"The 130 acre (52 hectare) park is one of the most beautifully maintained public parks in the world. Second only to Stanley Park in annual visitations, it receives nearly 6 million people a year who marvel at its superior standard of garden plantings.The park was originally quarried for its rock which served to build Vancouver’s first roadways. In 1929 the Board proceeded to acquire the property which had become an abandoned eyesore but still served as the site for two holding reservoirs for the City’s drinking water."

"Cresting the hill in Queen Elizabeth Park, this balmy, triodetic-domed conservatory is an ideal rainy-day warm-up spot, as well as Vancouver's best-value attraction. For little more than the price of a latte, you'll find tropical trees and plants bristling with hundreds of free-flying, bright-plumaged birds. Look for the resident parrots but also keep your eyes peeled for rainbow-hued Gouldian finches, shimmering African superb starlings and maybe even a sparkling Lady Amherst pheasant, snaking through the undergrowth. The attendants might even let you feed the smaller birds from a bowl."

Views over False Creek are framed by the glass condo towers that transformed the neighborhood in the 1990s.

"A grungy-looking hole-in-the-wall with a meat-free menu that lures just as many carnivores, beloved Budgie’s has a loyal following. Regulars come for the stomach-stuffing burritos (try the Henry: tofurky sausage, rice, beans, cheese, salsa, sour cream and lettuce) plus the chance to chill downstairs at mismatched booths surrounded by junkshop velvet paintings depicting everything from Hawaiian Elvis to Spanish conquistadores. Plan B: Just around the corner, Foundation is a sprawling vegetarian diner that serves a near-legendary nacho platter – possibly the biggest and best-value in Vancouver."

Sub the cheese and sour cream for guacamole or dairy-free cheese to make it vegan. Veggie ground round and tofurkey is also on the menu."
