Just got back from a three day vacation in Downtown Vancouver! Stayed at the Fairmont Pacific Rim with a room overlooking the Vancouver Convention Centre, cruise ship docks and ocean! The waterfront and gastown area are both great places to spend the day walking, exploring the shops and watching cruise ships set sail! Many options for rental bikes to ride along the seawall and stops to admire the ocean waves! The Fish House in Stanley Park is the perfect place to reflect on Vancouver heritage and taste fresh seafood!
