Find Your Refresh

Find your refresh.

Vancouver has a natural rhythm. You can effortlessly flow from nature to city, excitement to relaxation, cosmopolitan to come-as-you-are. Go from ancient rainforests and oceanside mountain ranges to eclectic neighborhoods and world-class restaurants…and that’s just day one. The more you embrace the city’s rhythm, the more you’ll discover your own natural momentum and find your refresh.

Go from nature to city and still have time for sushi

The great outdoors is just out your door

Mountains. Oceans. Rainforests. Here, you don’t just see the outdoors, you feel it. Bike through the peaceful trails of Stanley Park, pair ocean views with fresh powder on Cypress Mountain, or take your hiking to new heights at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. You can do it all and still be back in time for that farm-to-table dinner.

Conquer mountains, oceans and menus

Whether you’re into MICHELIN Star restaurants, craft breweries or uncovering all the local-faves in between, our restaurants are as diverse as the nooks and neighborhoods they call home. Tajarin with miso-cured yolk? Pan-seared trout stuffed with beet root? Prohibition-era Shanghai inspired speakeasy? Bring your appetite and leave everything else behind.

Soak up the scenery and the energy

There’s a feeling you get here that you won’t find anywhere else. It starts with the rain, rivers and oceans and flows through every aspect of our city. Breathe crisp ocean air along the seawall, relax in a self-guided thermal spa, or wander through the streets of Gastown. Take in the nature. Take in the energy. And maybe stop and take in a latte, too.

Refresh with the whole family

Nothing brings families together like nature. Hit the slopes on Mt. Seymour, go ice-skating at North Vancouver’s Shipyard Skate Plaza, or take a water taxi and explore the shops, stands and snacks on Granville Island. Whether your family’s into outdoor adventures or just finding the best all-you-can-eat sushi, we’ve got plenty of places to explore. Even your teenager will enjoy it.

Discover a unique blend of cultures.

We’re not defined by one culture, but by the diverse mix of cultures that coexist and collide to create our city’s dynamic nooks and neighbourhoods. Discover the traditions of the Coast Salish Peoples on a guided nature walk, check out the city's LGBTIQA+ hub, Davie Village, in the West End, or explore the restaurants and hideaways of historic Chinatown. If you’re looking for culture, we have plenty of places to find it.
