Highlights

Known for its music scene, coffee culture, and iconic landmarks, Seattle is the perfect mix of cool vibes and urban adventure.

Snap pics at Pike Place Market, check out the quirky Gum Wall, wander the waterfront at Miner’s Landing, and grab a drink at the very first Starbucks. Want more? You’ll also have the option to visit the Space Needle, soak in the views from the Sky View Observatory, geek out at MoPOP, or stroll through the stunning Chihuly Garden and Glass. It’s your day—make the most of it!

About Vancouver

Vancouver sits between mountains and the Pacific, a green, outdoorsy city of seawall walks, forested parks, beaches and diverse neighbourhoods.

Stanley Park, a vast forested peninsula beside downtown, is circled by the seawall, a waterside path loved by walkers and cyclists, and dotted with totem poles at Brockton Point. Granville Island's public market, artisan studios and theatres sit beneath a bridge across False Creek, and Gastown, the oldest neighbourhood, has cobbled streets and its famous steam clock.

Top-ranked sights in Vancouver: Stanley Park, Gastown, Granville Island.
