Streetwise Vancouver Map - Laminated City Center Street Map of Vancouver, Canada - Folding pocket size travel map with integrated Sky Train & Express Line routes & stationsThis map covers the following areas:
Main Vancouver Map 1:26,000
Downtown Vancouver Map 1:12,500
Vancouver Area Map 1:120,000
Downtown Victoria, BC Map 1:14,000
University of British Columbia Map 1:57,000 There are plenty of sites in Vancouver and getting around to see them all is easy. If you’re staying in the city (and you probably are) you can walk to most attractions. The Vancouver Museum highlights the growth and development of Vancouver from an outpost of fishing and forestry to a world class city. Science World is a great spot to take the kids so they can experience the interactive exhibitions and see an eye-popping OMNIMAX presentation. Adults will appreciate spending the time on Granville Island, a former dingy collection of rusty warehouses now transformed into galleries, shops, artists’ studios and home to a thriving public market the perfect place to pick up provision for a picnic. The best place to start your visit is Vancouver Lookout at Harbour Centre. Take a 45 second ride up a glass elevator to arrive at a spectacular 360° view of the city, the surrounding communities, the harbour and the mountains beyond. On a clear day you may even see Vancouver Island. What you notice most when you’re perched above the city is how green it is. As the city developed over the years, a large tract of forest was set aside, over 1,000 acres, destined to remain wild and serve as a reminder of whence the city originated. So began Stanley Park. Located right in the heart of the city, this green sanctuary is crisscrossed with walking trails and surrounded by English Bay and a 6 mile seawall - a lovely place for a stroll at sunset. Within the park are tennis courts, playgrounds, a miniature golf course, restaurants, snack bars and cafes, the Vancouver Aquarium, the Lost Lagoon where you can feed ducks and raccoons, swimming beaches, a pool, a miniature railroad for the kids, totem poles and a cannon that goes off precisely at 9 PM each evening. The capital of British Columbia is located at the tip of Vancouver Island, across the Straight of Georgia from Vancouver. Veddy Veddy British in nature, Victoria has the mildest climate in all of Canada. You can get to Victoria by taking the 1 ½ hour ferry ride from Tsawwassen, in south Vancouver to Swartz Bay, about a half an hour from Victoria. Whatever adventure you choose in this corner of Western Canada, the STREETWISE® Vancouver Map will assist you. The main map covers all of Downtown along with Stanley Park, Gastown, Chinatown, West End, Yaletown and Granville Island. A separate inset map of the central downtown area highlights hotels, sites, SKYTRAIN stations, shopping, government and educational sites and the cruise ship terminal, where cruises to Alaska start and end. A map of the Vancouver area extends from the southern suburb of Richmond to North and West Vancouver, from Burnaby to Sea Island, including the Vancouver International Airport. All major highways and thoroughfares are depicted along with exit numbers and sites. An inset of the University of BC campus is included as well as an inset of downtown Victoria, BC. Our pocket size map of Vancouver is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE® Vancouver map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE®. Buy your STREETWISE® Vancouver map today and you too can navigate Vancouver, Canada like a native.

ATTRACTIONS
Stanley Park
Welcome to the largest park in Canada and one of the most beautiful parks around the world. Stanley Park is one of Vancouver's main attractions - a 1,000-acre green oasis teeming with wildlife and majestic hemlock, cedars and fir trees.
The Lagoon, Totem Poles, the Hanging Gardens, the public swimming pools, trails for walking, cycling or rollerblading along the Seawall, Stanley Park is a relaxing way to spend a day in the fresh Pacific coast air.
Capilano Suspension Bridge
The Capilano Bridge is the oldest attraction in British Columbia and one of the most popular. Soaring 230 feet high in the air and 450 feet long, Capilano Suspension Bridge offers spectacular views of the rich green coastal forest on a swaying bridge of steel and cedar plank.
The newest attraction, Treetops Adventure, is comprised of seven elevated suspension bridges(some as high as 100 feet above the forest floor)through the Douglas firs.
Canada Place
One of the most distinguishing landmarks in Vancouver, Canada Place is an outstanding piece of architecture along the Vancouver waterfront.
Easily identified by its soaring five sails, Canada Place is home to the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Pacific Pan Hotel, Vancouver's World Trade Centre, the world's first permanent IMAX 3D theatre, and one of the two Alaska cruise ship terminals in the city.
Hosting over 3 million visitors annually, this symbol of Canadian spirit offers glorious views of Burrard Inlet, the North Shore Mountains, North and West Vancouver, and Stanley Park. |
