Tips for Cruise

Lynn Canyon instead of Capilano

For a more local, less crowded, and free (or by donation) suspension bridge experience, check out the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver.

The best sunset is in Kitsilano

Head to Kitsilano Beach or nearby Jericho Beach for spectacular sunsets over the ocean and mountains.

The dress code is casual and functional

Vancouverites value comfortable, outdoor clothing. A good quality raincoat is the home uniform.

Cannabis is legal

Recreational cannabis is legal for adults over 19 years of age. There are authorized stores, but consumption is restricted in most public places.

Tap water is exceptional

Vancouver's water, sourced from mountain reservoirs, is of excellent quality and safe to drink.

travel insurance

Medical care is expensive for non-residents. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential.

Avoid the Downtown Eastside (DTES)

This area (centered on Main and Hastings streets) has serious drug addiction and homelessness problems. There are no tourist attractions there and it is best avoided.

Beware of car thefts

Although not as serious as in San Francisco, car thefts do occur. Never leave valuables in sight.
