With respect to Whistler: it was not built just for the Olympics; it has been there for decades. It was absolutely designed to look the way it does, as were a number of other BC ski resort towns.
There is a colony of herons with dozens of nests beside the tennis courts in Stanley Park. Worth checking out between April-July to see the baby herons.
As a local Vancouverite, if you want to go somewhere close for skiing, I recommend Mt. Seymour and Cypress, and not Grouse mountain or whistler. The reason is that whistler is a bit farther than the other three mountains, and for Grouse mountain, you are forced to rely on using the gondola to reach the very top or back to the bottom. The lines can get painfully long, sometimes taking around 1-2 hours at worst, even if it's at 10pm On the hand, Mt. Seymour and Cypress don't require you to use the gondola as all you need to do is to drive up to the top. But anyways, this doesn't necessarily mean that you shouldn't go to Grouse Mountain or Whistler at all since they are really beautiful mountains.
Hi, I am going to Vancouver for vacation this winter. It is my first time ever going to Vancouver. We are looking to ski, however, we are fairly new to skiing. What would be the closest mountain from downtown Vancouver and how long does that take?
Now here is someone who knows what they're talking about. Of course, you don't have the cliff walk, or tree top stuff but FREE. Oh, and the bridge is much more, how should one put it,... "thrilling".
Agreed, Lynn Canyon suspension bridge is free and has a waterfall below and beside it. Also, the 45 minute loop from the suspension bridge to twin falls is a very scenic hike through a gorgeous douglas fir rain forest.
I'm hopefully visiting Vancouver with my mother this summer; I fell in love with the city once I looked into it. As a European, this will be my first visit to the American continent.
People don’t realize how far apart our towns are in bc. Or Canada for that matter. It’s amazing to think that all of the uk can fit in bc. We are so used to the long drives we don’t think of it much.
Holy moly, what a city! I'll most likely be moving to Vancouver within the next few months to work at Sony Imageworks and I simply cannot believe my own luck. Not just for this job opportunity but also to be living in this stunningly beautiful city! I've been living in Rotterdam for nearly all my life and one and a half years in Poland, but Vancouver.. definitely the big winner by the looks of it.
@@CowboyBoomBoomSlim The weather isn't really the bad part at all. Vancouver looks shiny from all these videos, but the reality is different. One of the bad things is the infrastructure. The "downtown island" is a really tiny place, but there are cars and stroads everywhere despite so many people. There is hardly a place to relax outside as a human outside of waterfront or the beach. Cars have to go through everywhere, it's extremely loud and it stinks, the limited space is rather designed for cars other than humans. It's hard to walk through anywhere downtown without feeling stressed. The worst thing is probably the poor people. Vancouver is full of poor people and has a huge drug problem. There is this smell everywhere. East downtown is the worst area and you don't want to be there at any time of the day, but it's also outside. You see these rich immigrants who can basically buy a life in Vancouver by buying a permanent resident status if they are rich enough to invest half a million in a company, and they drive these loud luxury cars through the city while the poor and/or drug addicted people lay there. Any foreigner can also just buy property there, so things are crazy expensive and native people from Vancouver move away because they can't afford it. On that side Vancouver just feels like a playground for the rich foreigners and the poor watch it from outside. The people also seem very cold and not so friendly and happy as they tell you. Of course the city is build on foreigners wich isn't really a terrible thing at all, but i could barely hear english anywhere, and can't see much of that culture at all. That is why Vancouver might not be as great at all compared to any other european city.
I really appreciate you sharing this with me. For the last few months I've been connecting with people, made and reconnected with valuable friends and tbh I find it more and more difficult to leave the country. I would be working on the big titles which would be a dream coming true but now that my life has finally started to become more fun, I don't know if I'm ready to say goodbye to it already. You gave me something to think about so thank you for that.
I disagree with Vancouver being called an Asian city in the west. Vancouver is a western city with a large Asian population. Vancouver is multicultural and many ethnicities call it home.
@@Acklecrumble73 13% of Toronto population is Chinese Vs 28% Chinese for Vancouver. This will increase substantially with Hong Kong Chinese wishing to emigrate from Hong Kong. Hence, if you wish to make money in Vancouver, best way is learning to speak Chinese and do business with Chinese.
@@jaygray7102 What size screen are you looking at? Lost Lagoon (the dirty brown water) is in the middle left side next to Stanley Park pitch and putt. Canada Place can be seen in the shot, you can see where Davie meets Denman at the bottom of the hill. Harbor Tower can be seen....should I keep going? It's all there but I will agree that the shot is from an angle that isn't used often.
@@the6ig6adwolf Yes, please go on and on and on because none of the things you say are clearly, or otherwise, visible...are. The muddy water (centre of picture) could be Lost Lagoon. What you're saying is...the causeway isn't in the picture at all, nor is Georgia St. The only thing I see that looks like it MIGHT be white sails are not clearly visible - I have to use my imagination to see them, they're barely poking above another building IF that's even what I'm looking at. I see something that could be the Harbor Tower but there's more than one city with a building that's virtually identical. Still don't see Davie or anywhere it's supposed to be connecting to Georgia. Guess people will just have to use their imagination.
This was a gorgeous video of Vancouver! Beautifully shot. I am moving there in a week and am so excited. I love Toronto, but, I am so excited about the mountains and ocean and all the sights to see. Vancouver suits me more as I am more of an outdoor person. My dog is going to love it too! I am going to be releasing a video soon about the challenges of moving during Pandemic. But, if it's your dream to live in Vancouver, I say go for it!
I just moved from Toronto to Vancouver and just released a video called Moving from Toronto to Vancouver during Pandemic- YIKES. Thanks for the inspiration TheJackAbroad!
There is SO MUCH MORE to see in Vancouver! It's an AWESOME place to visit and live. But for those of you who think about moving there, the city is CRAZY expensive! You'd better have an inheritance or a job that pays at least 60K a year, seriously.
This is a very charming place, I hope I can visit again sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
I´m Norwegian and Canada is definitely on my bucket list of countries to visit in the future. Both Vancouver and British Columbia sound and look absolutely amazing despite the expensive prices. I´d definitely love to go someday, thanks for sharing this amazing video with us! :)
I live in British Columbia and have my whole life and I also work all over the country and the best pace I've been is British Columbia but more specifically the southern gulf islands (small islands between Vancouver and Vancouver Island) I've lived there for a few years and still visit regularly. Most chill, laid back lifestyle ie ever experienced.
Even though he mentioned Grouse mountain , He dis not mention that There is 3 ski mountains within 35 minutes of downtown Vancouver including Grouse, Also east of Vancouver Harrison hot springs plus lots of rivers and other Great lakes to hang out , the further east you go in the Vancouver suburbs you go the cheaper the rents and housing ,
I live in Vancouver for 12 years,your video is perfect even when you say that the buildings in Whistler look fake,the people there are fake too!! Great job with you video🤣
Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful if not most beautiful place to be. Just warning tho, from November to April - it’s nothing but rain. But that’s why we have the cleanest water lol.
I live here and it is is very good city. I like the rain and it does not get to hot or cold. I can’t imagine living in Calgary or Toronto with -15 in the winders or +40 in the summers.
A Torontonian here 👋🏽. It doesn't last long. But every winter at some point it normally gets much colder than -15. It'll always hit at least -20 to -25 for a week or so each winter. I'm always jealous when I see the temp in Vancouver!
It's a good place which is why it is more expensive to live here than Calgary or even Toronto. The non stop rainy days though are very depressing, especially in the winter with short day light hours.
@@koonchan2241 it only became expensive before the olympics. My brother in law is an architect here and he told me that the Asian market destroyed all affordability when they put their laundered money into our market. In the 90's you could buy a house for under 300k, weather has nothing to do with it.
@@lolamar6064 300k in the 90s is not the same amount as now. Laundered money or not, the government is interested in the money inflow and turned a blind eye on it. It is actually around 2013 or so that housing became expensive. Depending on how you look at it, if you have a property before that, you net worth would have doubled on paper.
Whistler is 90 mins from Vancouver - 45 mins to Squamish then 45 mins to Whistler... 4 hrs (particularly if not snowy) gives an impression of it being much further away than it is.
Thank you for making a beautiful video of my beautiful city. It is a good introductory tour of Vancouver, covers all the must-see places. However it is misleading to say that it takes 4 hrs to drive to Whistler, it is only an hour and the half the most. You took 4 hours because you must have stopped at many places along the way. Taking a Sea-to-Sky gondola up the mountain, stopping at Shannon Falls or Whytecliff Park ? Horseshoe Bay ? Why do you think Whistler Village is "fake"? It is built for tourists, so it is full of restaurants, shops and many hotels. Yes, anyone planning to visit Vancouver must reserve at least 2 weeks, to see them all.
Forget Whistler, stay on the North Shore and go to Lighthouse Park instead. If you liked Whytecliff, Lighthouse is much bigger and even more spectacular.
You also missed the Island (Vancouver Island) to be exact. That’s another 2-3 days minimum even for us locals and a must visit place when you come to Vancouver.
Blue Heron nests are near Stanley Park tennis courts near English bay....if you want to see sone big red cedar trees, hike the trail in Stanley park from third beach to Lost Lake..on the drive to whistler, you need go to Squamish (on 99) one of the biggest granite climbing walls in NA..
Not mentioned is the Capilano fish hatchery (esp. during the salmon run) in North Vancouver and climbing the Chief in Squamish. In Nov-Dec it's worth seeing the bald eagles gather on the Harrison River. Also Othello Tunnels in Hope, Alexandra Bridge near Spuzzum, gold panning at the waterfront in Yale, (All of these things are free.)
A few notes from someone who lives in Vancouver: The steam clock is super overrated, it's not even powered by steam. No idea why it's a tourist attraction at all lol. English Bay Beach is nice but it's not the biggest. Spanish Banks is way bigger and is my personal favourite. This video didn't mention the SkyTrain! Or the SeaBus! It's a great affordable way to travel around the city and get an amazing view at the same time. Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is free! It's a good budget friendly alternative to Capilano. The Whistler village is by far the least interesting part of Whistler. Just skip it and go ride the gonola up the mountain and enjoy the view. Lots of short hikes you can do up there as well. Whistler is very doable as a day trip but you can't take too many stops along the way otherwise you will run out of time haha. Your footage of skiing at Grouse Mountain, Garibaldi Lake and Joffre Lakes were all random other places. Garibaldi Lake is a backcountry lake high in the mountains, there are no sail boats up there lmao. If you're going hiking, make sure you are prepared for the conditions. Do some research ahead of time. Lots of people hike underprepared and end up needing search and rescue to come get them.
People complain nonstop about Vancouver. I’m born here. What I don’t understand is why anyone would go to all the trouble of moving to a city and be negative about it all the time. I’ve lived in Tokyo, London, Paris, Sydney, Adelaide, Seattle, Hong Kong & Dongguan-Guangzhou (China) ... did I complain? No. ( ok except about the pollution in the skies of the latter)
With respect to Whistler: it was not built just for the Olympics; it has been there for decades. It was absolutely designed to look the way it does, as were a number of other BC ski resort towns.
Yeah like Silver Star
Came here to say the same thing. I was there in 2007 before the Olympics!
The bird in the Garden is a Blue Heron, they are all over Vancouver near the water.
There is a colony of herons with dozens of nests beside the tennis courts in Stanley Park. Worth checking out between April-July to see the baby herons.
OMG, I was there 20 years ago and this video just reminded why I have been wanting to go back. A BEAUTIFUL city. Thank you!
I met a girl named Fan
What city do you live in now???
as a native vancourite... this is literally the most touristy overview of Vancouver
Hello I’m planning to go to Vancouver this September! Any local recommendations?
riiiight. "What to See In Vancouver! (2020) | Travel Guide" have no idea why it's a touristy overview.

An alternative to Capilano suspension bridge -- a little smaller but completely free of charge -- is Lynn Canyon suspension bridge.
