One of the most famous landmarks in North Vancouver is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The bridge was originally built
in 1889, and is 450 feet across and 230 feet above Capilano River and is, without
a doubt, the world's greatest suspension footbridge!
Of course, a visit to North Vancouver Attractions would not be complete without a gondola ride
up to Grouse Mountain.
During the summer enjoy helicopter rides, Lumberjack shows, hike the Grouse Grind
and much more. Winter time means skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and sleigh riding.
Need a change of scenery? Try
Mount Seymour or
Cypress Mountain for more ski runs and snow fun. Come and test out the
2010 Olympic facilities! Take a bus trip to Downtown over the Lions' Gate Bridge
and visit Gastown (the original
Vancouver), Chinatown,
Granville Island
and Robson Street where
designer boutiques abound and you may just see a movie star shopping there! Don't
forget about
Stanley Park. Rent a bicycle and go around the 10 km sea wall, explore the
gardens, see the Totem Poles, visit the
Aquarium or just relax on one of the beaches.
