Today, enjoy a sightseeing tour to see what Vancouver is all about. Start your day off in historic Gastown with its cobblestone streets, quaint caf\u00e9s, and shops. Continue to Stanley Park named one of the 20 best parks in the world in 2017. Experience aboriginal culture at the Stanley Park totem poles, take a walk along Vancouver\u2019s iconic Seawall and enjoy beautiful views of Vancouver\u2019s downtown, North Shore Mountains, and English Bay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the afternoon, head to North Vancouver and visit the impressive Capilano Suspension Bridge. Originally built in 1889 the bridge stretches 450 feet\/140 meters across and 230 feet\/ 70 meters above the Capilano River. As it is a traditional suspension bridge it is a shaky walk only for those who dare. Cross the bridge for a spectacular walk through temperate rainforests that are home to giant tree varieties such as Western Red Cedars and Douglas Firs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer style='background-color:#00b2d2; ' class='entry-footer'><\/footer><\/article><\/li>\n<li  class='av-milestone av-animated-generic fade-in av-milestone-even  av-milestone-valign-baseline '><h2 class='av-milestone-date  '  id='milestone-day-8'><strong>Day 8<span class='av-milestone-indicator'style='background-color:#00b2d2; '><\/span><\/strong><\/h2><article class='av-milestone-content-wrap'><div class='av-milestone-contentbox' ><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4  class=' '>Depart Home<\/h4><\/header><div class='av-milestone-content' ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your flight departure time your itinerary will leave time for some more exploration or transfer directly to the airport. For evening flights, begin your final day in Vancouver exploring a local favorite &#8211; Granville Island. Enjoy scenic views of False Creek and Vancouver\u2019s downtown as you take in this hub of activity. There is lots to do: the Grandville Island Public Market boasts rows of fresh local produce, seafood, baked goods, and gourmet delicacies. Granville island is also an important cultural hub and is the perfect place to stock up on locally made goods at the many artisan boutiques, workshops and craft studios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
