Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout

Overview

What you’ll do

The beauty of each neighbourhood is that they have their own story to tell. Gastown is no different since it was Vancouver’s original downtown core. From your neighbourhood pub to fine dining, you can find it here, along the cobblestone streets and some of downtown’s oldest architecture.

The Millennium Gate and the red lampposts lining the streets are a clear indicator that you have entered this history-filled neighborhood, home to endless options for food and the first Chinese garden outside of China.

The Vancouver Lookout is all about reaching new heights. Located in the Harbour Centre Tower, watch as you rise towards the sky leaving the ground below in a forty second glass elevator ride. See the whole city and beyond from the observation deck at a height of 553 feet (168 meters) above the streets of Vancouver.

Pass by this beautiful neighbourhood with stunning coastal views. It is the most popular sunbathing, swimming, and sunset-watching beach in the downtown Vancouver area.

Granville Island is the perfect place to find that one of a kind keepsake. Wander through the local artisan galleries and check out the many restaurants and bakeries, including the Public Market, where you’ll find some of the island’s most notable vendors.

Travel over the iconic Lions Gate Bridge and enjoy scenic views of Vancouver's North Shore. Also known as the First Narrows Bridge it crosses the Burrard Inlet, a busy route for cruise ships, recreational boaters and seaplanes. Take a look back and catch a glimpse of the downtown Vancouver skyline and Stanley Park.

The Capilano Suspension Bridge is Vancouver’s oldest tourist attraction. With the original bridge constructed in 1889 from cedar logs, this destination attracts travellers from all over the world. This park’s main feature is the famous suspension bridge which stretches 1450 feet (137 meters) and 230 feet (70 meters) above the Capilano River. Once you’ve conquered the bridge and your adrenaline is pumping, rise up amongst the tree canopies with the Tree Top Adventures where a series of platforms and smaller bridges will give you a higher perspective. Make sure to also try the Cliffwalk, an exhilarating pathway that takes you around a granite cliffside.
