Vancouver - Capilano Bridge/Grouse Mountain for two?
 
I'm visiting Vancouver for 3 days -

Our itineray:

Day 1 - city tour by trolley 2 day pass),stop at Stanley Park. Visit Vancouver Art Gallery

Day 2 - Granville Island (I love arts/crafts)

Day 3 Capilano Bridge/Grouse Mountain? Is it worthwhile to go to both locations?

Any suggestions for activities, places to eat?

Regarding my Vancouver trip,we're first going to Victoria and were planning to spend 4 nights there...

day 1 afternoon arrival(we're up at 3am for our plane. Don't plan much that day, maybe a ferry tour

day 2 tea at the Empress, look around the city

day 3 afternoon at Butchart/fireworks

day 4 ?

Are we spending too long at Victoria? Would you spend more of your vacation in Vancouver?

I'm still in the process of planning our trip to Vancouver/Rockies in September, but what about considering a whale watching tour in Victoria?

victoria's strengths in the summer are the great outdoors: walking in our city parks: beacon hill; along dallas road; mt doug; beaches at cordove bay; willows,;gonzales; below dallas road, etc farther afield ( 30 minutes elk / beaver lakes; thetis lake; esquimalt lagoon, etc.

u can tour the inner harbour via water taxi

interesting local shopping in dowtown core esp johnson, china town and store street

Royal bc museum; art gallery of victoria and craigdarroch castle for rainy days

great range odf dining ops downtown too

enjoy

Thanks so much! I think we will go whale watching and the castle sounds great too!

We will embrace the outdoors as well.
