Experience Vancouver

Surrounded by breathtaking forests and warm waters, Vancouver is a popular destination for visitors from all around the world. Originally a booming town riding the nearby discovery of gold, Vancouver has now evolved into a modern multicultural city, with a unique atmosphere and high standard of living. To get a great view of the city and surrounding areas, drive your hire car to Queen Elizabeth Park, the highest point in Vancouver. From here you will see stunning panoramic views across the sparkling horizon.

Vancouver's affinity with nature is reflected in Stanley Park; located in the heart of the city with an 11km seawall and is one of the most popular attractions for visitors to Vancouver. Drive your car hire out to the park, and see unspoiled forests which are much like the ones that once covered the area where the city stands today.

Granville Street is the main shopping district in the downtown area of Vancouver, with shopping malls and speciality shops galore. Don’t limit yourself to just the city, take a day trip with your hire car and head north to visit Grouse Mountain or the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
