Here's How I Spent 72 Hours Alone in Vancouver Canada! The Best Things to Do, Eat & See! 

I love Vancouver, but was given a sort of "cold shower" introduction to it. Over 20 years ago I drove cross country from NYC to Seattle in 5 days to start a new job, and almost immediately after I started they told me that I had to drive up to Vancouver for training, something that hadn't been explained to me when I took the job. So I drove up there, which took less than I expected, under 3 hours. And I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful it was. Seattle's a nice city and I miss it terribly (I moved back to NYC eventually), but it just doesn't compare to Vancouver in size, beauty and diversity. Unfortunately most of my time was consumed with training, which was in North Vancouver which isn't as interesting as Vancouver proper (although it's closer to the mountains and the Lonsdale Quay is really nice and worth a visit), but my hotel was on the Vancouver waterfront not far from Stanley Park so I went for a run there every evening and did as much exploring as I could. I kept thinking where this beautiful city has been all my life and why I'd never gone there before. And Stanley park is incredible, really several parks in one and perhaps the most beautiful urban park in the world (I used to live near NYC's Central Park which is amazing and it blows it away, hands down). By the way that bridge is the Lion's Gate bridge that connects Vancouver to North Vancouver (you can also take the SeaBus there, basically a water taxi). It's what Lion's Gate Films is named after. Oh, did you hear the cannon go off every nigtht? Scared the hell out of me the first time I heard it. And, definitely try to take the Coast Starlight someday. I've taken it twice, once all the way and another time from SF to Portland, in summer and winter, and it's just gorgeous. I prefer winter especially if there's lots of snow but summer is nice too. The train from Vancouver to Seattle, the Cascades, is also nice, and parts of the route huge the coast and are stunning. And definitely visit Vancouver Island and take one of the amazing ferries through the Gulf Islands there. Great video btw. You have one of the best travel and adventure channels and are a natural at it.

Thanks for creating this content - I’m headed to Vancouver in November and I’ll be alone myself

Great video! Thanks for all the great ideas! I’m so glad you talked about walking everywhere. I love walking around the cities I visit!

A great review 🤗 I'm more of a "sun vaycay" kind of guy, but Vancouver is gorgeous, the food, the hotels, the scenery ... I'd give it a go in the cooler weather, you've definitely changed my mind! Thank you again for such a wonderful insight to such a beautiful city. 🥂 I am so looking forward to the next video 😀

Love Vancouver , we were there in 2018 and I remember the Chinese garden wasn’t free , we walked all the way there and I don’t remember how much it was but it was so expensive we didn’t do it , glad to hear it’s free now

I'm so happy to see a video from you again! i love watching your adventures, BUT i think you need to get Ludvig out traveling as well, I need his facial expressions and commentary. hahahaha you guys are awesome, love it, keep it up please.

Hey! Kiwi here going to Vancouver in 2024! Was so happy to hear you say you’re from NZ! Great video & super helpful ❤

Enjoyed your informative video and great video editing. I was in Vancouver back in 2016.. Exotic birds and plants at Queen Elisabeth park observatory and Grizzly bears exhibit at Grouse mountain tour were the highlights of my trip. Can't wait to visit there again!

Love this place - want to go back!!

Im really about to book a January bday trip to Vancouver now! 😂😂😂 Thanks!

Now all I want to do is pack my bag and go to Vancouver.

Thanks for this. You’ve just helped me make up my mind to only travel on the Zephyr to Chicago. Can’t see the sense in spending the extra to go to NY with the service that you showed. But I am really looking forward to travelling on the Zephyr.

We loved Granville Island when we were in Vancouver a few years ago!

This is a good video!

Heading to Vancouver next week from the UK as a solo traveller. Thanks for the tips. Im sure its so last year but put wust er cher together and youll be close enough 😊

Thank you so much for your visit to The Victorian Chloe!

TThanks helpful thinking of going !

In spanish the name of that sauce is so difficult that instead we just say salsa inglesa = english sauce lol

As a home sick Canadian living abroad thanks.

In the U.S. we call the Caesar "Bloody Mary" ! Sometimes it's made with tequila and called a "Bloody Maria" ! I never knew they had their own version in Canada. Super cool.

What conference was there in San Diego ? And did you do a video while you were down there?

I've been watching a lot of your videos and I feel like you guys owe us a "get to know us" vid, I want to know all the deets about where you from and where you met etc.

What airport are you talking about in nelson? Unless you private charter or know something locals don't about nelson airport then what flight did you originally book from nelson?

One thing you didn't tell us, how did you get around? Public transit or car rental?

Its the most livable city if your really wealthy or want to work like a dog and I mean HK style work 6-7 days a week 9+ hrs to be able make ends meet and enjoy life. Definately more like a vacation city.

I hope there's no pickpockets in Vancouver i am comeing over in 3 or 4 years time using air new Zealand Premium Economy

Just curious, how did you end up in Nelson Canada ?

Paradox was the old Trump Hotel that changed their name
