"Housed in the historic Wing Sang building (51 East Pender Street), which is Chinatown’s oldest building (1889), the Rennie Museum is a private collection owned by real estate mogul Bob Rennie. Local and international artists are showcased in the gallery and free tours are available to the public. Continue to 9 of 10 below."

"A private museum that you have to book to get into, but definitely worth the minimal effort required. Make a story out of the exhibition, and take a main page post on the roof, it’s a win-win scenario. Definitely one of the coolest buildings you can check out in Vancouver."

"Make sure to stop off for a drink at Keefer Bar and Fortune Sound Club and check out Rennie Collection at Wing Sang (which offers free entry). You can also visit some of the firm-favourites such as; Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Millennium Gate."

"Known previously as the Presentation House Gallery, this North Van gallery is the largest non-profit photographic gallery in Western Canada. Operating since 1981, The Polygon focuses on – but is not limited to – contemporary photography with an emphasis on Canadian work. The gallery itself is a modern and bright 25.000-square-feet (2322-square-metre) building with stunning water views."

"A modernist masterpiece that sits on the water in North Van. And, admission is by donation!. Ironically, this is one of two places on this list where Nemesis Coffee will be setting up shop."

"In partnership with London-based developer, McArthurGlen Group, the Vancouver Airport Authority has developed the luxury designer outlet centre on Vancouver International Airport (YVR) land.

"A post shared by City Square (@citysquareshoppingcentre) on Jun 17, 2016 at 9:44am PDT. While wandering around downtown Vancouver, take some time to check out City Square Shopping Centre. Drop your children off at Raincity Dance studio while you pound it out at Steve Nash Fitness World."

"Kids Market is a shopping mall focused on children (and the kids at heart). Toys, children’s wear, party supplies, costumes, dance clothing, candies, gifts and other specialty items fill the shops in this warehouse-styled mall. With a play area, arcade and caboose, it is definitely a child’s paradise."

"As of the last week of January 2020, most of the stores and food court along with Safeway have been removed for the rebirth of this popular Vancouver mall, which will include luxurious residences. Enjoy shopping under the airy glass skylight at this single-storey sprawling shopping centre. Spend time scouring the racks for end-of-season sales at flagship department store Hudson’s Bay Company."

"Home to the HR MacMillan Space Centre, the Vancouver Maritime Museum, the Museum of Vancouver, and a lively program of festivals and cultural events such as Bard on the Beach – Western Canada’s largest Shakespeare festival – Vanier Park is a beacon for arts and culture enthusiasts. But museums and festivals aren’t the only draws for this popular city park. Wide-open fields make this a great spot for kite flying, and the public boat-launching ramp is a great kickoff spot for water activities."

"Alas, Bard on the Beach is not to be this summer, but that’s no reason to stay away. Often with more geese than humans, this is one of the best places in Vancouver to fly a kite. It also offers splendid views of the West End’s Sunset Beach and of sailboats and other water craft heading to and from False Creek."

"Beginning just two blocks from our hotel, this famous waterfront walking and cycling path winds 28km around the downtown peninsula, following the shoreline of False Creek and English Bay all the way to Kitsilano. Popular with fitness buffs and sightseers alike, a stroll along the seawall is one of the best ways to take in the city’s scenery."

"One of the best views of Vancouver can be found right here in Stanley Park. The Vancouver Sea Wall boasts incredible views of the North Shore and Vancouver Harbour and Burrard Inlet. This is one of the best pedestrian and bike trails to take through the park as many of the main sights and attractions are located along the way."

"Located just south of Vancouver, Iona Beach Regional Park is the home of one of the most romantic walks in Vancouver. Iona Jetty is a 4-kilometre long jetty that juts out into the Straight of Georgia, right into the Pacific Ocean. The walk is flat and you can often see wildlife and interesting sea creatures."

"Owned by a husband-and-wife team, Powell Brewery’s award-winning beer is so popular with locals that they had to move to a bigger premises on Powell Street in 2014. They offer both seasonal and year-round beers, including the Cheeky Session, the Dive Bomb Dark Ale, the Lazy D’Haze IPA, and the Old Jalopy Pale Ale. The latter won Powell Brewery bronze for “Extra Special Bitter” at the World Beer Cup Awards in 2016."

"Award winning brewery and couple-owned (sweet), Powell never disappoints. With a rustic vibe and a all seasons patio, their beer continuously pleases. We also, of course, love supporting mom and pop shops like this independent microbrewery."

"Powell’s Old Jalopy Pale Ale is still one of the best core beers that Vancouver has. Powell maintains a difficult balance of an established and consistent regular lineup and creative seasonal and experimental offerings."

"It’s hard to believe Parallel 49 only opened a few years ago; the brewery has really exploded since opening. Their brews embody the fun of craft beer and their flavours showcase a diversity of original flavours. The tasting room acts as a refuge for beer afficiandos and newcomers alike, and allows visitors to enjoy sampler sizes of everything from ales, lagers, malts and popular seasonal brews."

"A massive overhaul to their taproom along with a more dedicated shift in focus to start creating some really inventive beer has Parallel ranking much higher than we would have given them credit for a few years back. They are on fire right now, and having the creative minds of Boombox in-house is just an added bonus."

"This is a local favorite and if you get there after 3pm on a Saturday you will be fighting for a seat after a long wait. Service can be a wild card and staff often looks overwhelmed but the beer is cheap. With the opening of their new tap room your even more likely to find a spot to get in."

"We like the fun branding of this new brewery coming to North Vancouver. And, fingers crossed that we’ll like their beers just as much. Once they open of course, but they’ve already teased their first brews!"

"Best egg and salmon croissants plate for breakfast in vancouver:) you have to try it. Price is great and big portion plus great service!!"

"The Olympic Village was built in 2010 and is considered one of the greenest communities in the world. Located in False Creek, this is a great area to explore on foot, with plenty of benches, cute cafes and restaurants, and green spaces to keep you occupied for at least an hour or two."
