Fly to Vancouver
Whether you love exploring the great outdoors or you just want to explore Vancouver’s great culture, you can rest assured you will be able to find something that will keep you entertained throughout your stay.
Another perk about visiting Vancouver is that you can travel on a budget. While some activities can be pricey, others in this thriving city are completely free of charge.
The best way to get to know the beautiful area is by taking a ride on the Vancouver Trolley Company, which runs every 20 minutes in the summer and every 45 minutes in the winter. There are 26 stops where you can hop on and off to explore various areas of the city, and there are also live commentaries provided by the guide so that you can learn a little bit more about the city from a true local.
Another way to discover the city is on the “Big Bus”, a vintage double-decker that goes to 22 different Vancouver locations including Robson Street, Chinatown, Granville Island, Stanley Park and English Bay. These tours are great for the first day so that you can easily get acquainted with this new and exciting city.
If you are more of an adventure seeker, get your adrenalin pumping with the Capilano Suspension Bridge, an incredible construction that allows you to see breathtaking views of some of Vancouver’s finest landscapes while suspended over the Capilano River. You can also walk across the tree tops of the Canadian Fir trees over smaller suspended bridges that sit over the forest.
Another adventurous way to explore Vancouver’s surrounding area is through Grouse Mountain. You can zip line at an exhilarating rate of 80 kilometres per hour.
There is so much to see and do in Vancouver, but when you go, you want to make sure that you have an amazing time. A cancelled flight or lost baggage can put quite a dampener on your stay.
That’s why you need to get travel insurance.
With travel insurance, you will be protected against a missed or cancelled flight, missing or stolen luggage and all those annoyances that can ruin your otherwise perfect visit to Vancouver.
Travel insurance can also be very beneficial in case you get sick or injured. Many adventures and sports in Vancouver are very safe since professionals are with you all the way. However, there is always a slight chance of injury. With travel insurance that includes medical treatments you will be well taken care of and you will not come home with huge hospital bills.
