Attractions

One of the most famous landmarks in North Vancouver is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The bridge was originally built in 1889, and is 450 feet across and 230 feet above Capilano River and is, without a doubt, the world's greatest suspension footbridge!

Of course, a visit to North Vancouver would not be complete without a gondola ride up to Grouse Mountain. During the summer enjoy helicopter rides, Lumberjack shows, hike the Grouse Grind and much more. Winter time means skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and sleigh riding.

Need a change of scenery? Try Mount Seymour or Cypress Mountain for more ski runs and snow fun. Come and test out the 2010 Olympic facilities! Take a bus trip to Downtown over the Lions' Gate Bridge and visit Gastown (the original Vancouver), Chinatown, Granville Island and Robson Street where designer boutiques abound and you may just see a movie star shopping there! Don't forget about Stanley Park. Rent a bicycle and go around the 10 km sea wall, explore the gardens, see the Totem Poles, visit the Aquarium or just relax on one of the beaches.
