Vancouver, day by day

Vancouver puts mountains, forest and sea within a bus ride of downtown: the Stanley Park seawall, a food market on an island, the great Northwest Coast collections at UBC and a suspension bridge and gondola on the North Shore. Start with three days that use the water as much as the streets, with the opening rules that matter in 2026.

How this plan was made: Tripwoa's planner drafted the day order from real coordinates and typical visit times. Each stop was then reviewed, reordered where needed and rewritten with AI assistance. Walking distances are straight-line estimates, so allow a little extra time on real streets.
