We've outlined three days in Vancouver that will
ensure you see great sights, view outstanding attractions and experience an
excellent sampling of all our great city has to offer. Try out
one, two or all
three days' suggestions for yourself.
Here is day three (you can
find day one here and day two here):
Maybe sleep in this morning before heading out to join the locals
who line up at
The Elbow Room for a stick-to-the-ribs breakfast and a little early morning
abuse!
Next,
head to the
Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. It's one of
Canada's finest examples of contemporary architecture housing impressive First
Nations artifacts in a beautiful setting on the western edge of the University
of British Columbia. Many locals are not aware of the outdoor garden located
between the museum and the Point Grey Cliffs. There are 10 totem poles towering
over grassy knolls and two Haida houses carved by some of the West Coast's
finest First Nations artists. You can enjoy the totem poles and the breathtaking
views from this little park whether the museum is open or not.
It's early afternoon and time for a quick bite at
Hamburger Mary's in the Davie Village before some serious shopping on Robson
Street, Vancouver's equivalent of Rodeo Drive. In the evening during the summer,
you'll want tickets to
Bard on the Beach staged outdoors or check out the offerings from the
Arts Club either on their Granville Island stages or at the historic Stanley
Theatre.
Finish off the day by checking out
what's happening in the local gay bars,
pubs and cabarets.
