Whatever the season of your visit, there are so many cool things to do in Vancouver. Many people hear ‘Vancouver’ and think snow. I mean, yeah, one of the main things to do in Vancouver is to head out and hit the mountains, but there’s a lot more to Van City than skiing or snowboarding.

Vancouver is one of the biggest Canadian cities, surrounded by mountains and located on the coast, rich in indigenous history and has access to endless seafood, there’s enough activities in Vancouver to keep you busy for days (or weeks and months, if you have them).

I’ve been to Vancouver a few times now, and loved it more every time. Here are some of the best activities to keep you entertained in Vancouver…
