Here's what I did in 72 hours by myself in Vancouver, Canada! In this video, you'll get some great ideas on what to do in this beautiful city. I'll show you the best places to eat and drink (including where to find Vancouver's best coffee and Canada's famous cocktail). We'll bike ride along the World's Longest Waterfront path, visit a Cat Cafe, a Chinese Garden and we visit a very interesting sight - the Worlds Narrowest Commercial Building! Yay! Come and join me!

A great review 🤗 I'm more of a "sun vaycay" kind of guy, but Vancouver is gorgeous, the food, the hotels, the scenery ... I'd give it a go in the cooler weather, you've definitely changed my mind! Thank you again for such a wonderful insight to such a beautiful city. 🥂 I am so looking forward to the next video 😀

Yay thanks Dean!! Yes, for our 'vacays' we do tend to go to the colder places, or we picked 'off peak' times of year to go... this year we actually have a bunch of sunny destinations planned for a change so stay tuned ;)

I love Vancouver, but was given a sort of "cold shower" introduction to it. Over 20 years ago I drove cross country from NYC to Seattle in 5 days to start a new job, and almost immediately after I started they told me that I had to drive up to Vancouver for training, something that hadn't been explained to me when I took the job. So I drove up there, which took less than I expected, under 3 hours. And I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful it was. Seattle's a nice city and I miss it terribly (I moved back to NYC eventually), but it just doesn't compare to Vancouver in size, beauty and diversity. Unfortunately most of my time was consumed with training, which was in North Vancouver which isn't as interesting as Vancouver proper (although it's closer to the mountains and the Lonsdale Quay is really nice and worth a visit), but my hotel was on the Vancouver waterfront not far from Stanley Park so I went for a run there every evening and did as much exploring as I could. I kept thinking where this beautiful city has been all my life and why I'd never gone there before. And Stanley park is incredible, really several parks in one and perhaps the most beautiful urban park in the world (I used to live near NYC's Central Park which is amazing and it blows it away, hands down). By the way that bridge is the Lion's Gate bridge that connects Vancouver to North Vancouver (you can also take the SeaBus there, basically a water taxi). It's what Lion's Gate Films is named after. Oh, did you hear the cannon go off every nigtht? Scared the hell out of me the first time I heard it. And, definitely try to take the Coast Starlight someday. I've taken it twice, once all the way and another time from SF to Portland, in summer and winter, and it's just gorgeous. I prefer winter especially if there's lots of snow but summer is nice too. The train from Vancouver to Seattle, the Cascades, is also nice, and parts of the route huge the coast and are stunning. And definitely visit Vancouver Island and take one of the amazing ferries through the Gulf Islands there. Great video btw. You have one of the best travel and adventure channels and are a natural at it.

Wow thats for leaving this detailed comment! It was like reading a story! So glad you managed to get to Vancouver, even if it was for work - to this day Stanley Park is one of my favourite running spots, glad you got to experience it too! I have the Coast Starlight very high my list - hoping to do this within the next few years :) Thanks for joining our channel!! :D
