Vancouver – Great urbanism amidst gorgeous scenery
 
I was in Vancouver late last week through the weekend for 6 days/5 nights. I hadn’t been there since March 2001 and had been wanting to return for a visit for quite some time. Fortunately now that I’m living on the West Coast it’s a relatively easy/quick flight up the coast. I had a fantastic time with sunshine on all but one day and very pleasant temps. I can understand why it’s frequently listed among the most liveable cities in the World (assuming you can afford to live there). It felt comfortable from a pedestrian perspective with an easy grid to traverse, bike lanes were plentiful and heavily used, and SkyTrain was very frequent and a more pleasant passenger experience than any rapid transit in the areas I’ve lived. Anyway, I averaged nearly 15 miles per day on foot and here is what I saw along the way.

1. This is actually Mt. Rainier, as seen from my flight from SFO to YVR.

210. After a long sweaty climb back up the steep stairs to UBC, at least there was this nice garden to enjoy the view overlooking the water!

211. Catching the 99 B-Line express bus down Broadway and a transfer at City Hall to the Canada Line to head back downtown (eventually the SkyTrain is planned run under Broadway all the way here to UBC).

215. I hopped on a bus and headed east down Hastings to the Strathcona area to check out Prototype Coffee. It was pretty good and a hip cool interior design.

216. Being so close to the not great area near Hastings on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Strathcona neighbourhood as I walked back towards downtown, but it was very nice! Just had to remain south of Hastings to avoid the blight.

I really had a fantastic time in Vancouver and look forward to future visits. Hope you enjoyed the photos!

giallo Oct 2, 2022 3:41 AM

Well, that was excellent.

I'm astonished by how much ground you covered, and how off the beaten path you ventured. I'm happy to see you visited my hood (Mt. Pleasant), and strolled through the residential streets. 10th Ave. is a really nice biking route.

Fantastic tour. You really made Vancouver look good.

Zepfancouver Oct 2, 2022 3:42 AM

My favorite building photos
107. Now back to downtown Vancouver.

I'm fascinated by those 2 buildings, the old and the new.

mcminsen Oct 2, 2022 4:15 AM

Fantastic! :tup:

Thank you so much for your "love letter" to Vancouver.
You covered so much ground.

Great editing job, too. I know how much work that is.

I especially love that first photo of Mt. Rainier.

Fantastic amount of coverage of a fantastic city and region.

geomorph Oct 2, 2022 9:55 PM

Massive thread, great comprehensive coverage! I enjoyed the New Westminster part especially, since I have never seen that. I like many of the new skyscrapers finished since 2017 when I last visited!

Nouvellecosse Oct 2, 2022 10:11 PM

Looks like a great and very fun visit! Thanks for sharing. :D

Doady Oct 2, 2022 10:14 PM

Thread maybe a bit too big but it was worth it. Very lively and vibrant city, the model even for Toronto in recent years, and maybe the "Vancouver style" should adopted in other cities as well.

SpongeG Oct 3, 2022 4:41 AM

great pics, it seems like Vancouver has finally had its neighbourhoods become more interesting and worth trekking to. Mount Pleasant being one of the most recent, having the skytrain subway there will really affect it even more.

Echoes Oct 3, 2022 3:33 PM

Wow! Great tour. Thank you.

PFloyd Oct 3, 2022 4:47 PM

Amazing tour!
You really capture a lot of what makes Vancouver one of the most liveable cities in the world.

destroycreate Oct 3, 2022 8:06 PM

Damn, this thread really packed a punch. Giving me 2003-style picture threads.

I love Vancouver so much. Canada just does livability so much better, and it shows in their cities.

LAsam Oct 3, 2022 9:42 PM

Wow, what an amazing photo set! You covered a ton of ground... makes me want to go back to Vancouver. PNW in the summer is as good as it gets.

EastSideHBG Oct 3, 2022 10:23 PM

Beautiful!

mhays Oct 3, 2022 10:48 PM

What happens when densities get high, the social compact works, there's a lot of great architecture especially at the ground plane... A stunning location doesn't hurt either.

Great post of a great city.

Architype Oct 3, 2022 11:52 PM

Great pictures, it's nice to see the city through the eyes of a visitor. You've covered the city very well, one of the best tours I've seen, and showing off some of my favorite newer buildings. Thanks for visiting, especially my neighborhood Mt. Pleasant! Now that you've covered it, which area did you like best, or would choose to live in? (I am guessing most would say the West End.) :tup:

vanman Oct 6, 2022 5:44 PM

Great set! Really makes me feel like I should get outside and walk more.

zahav Oct 10, 2022 2:04 AM

Truly a phenomenal set, covered so much, you made the most of the trip for sure! Next trip you'll need to go to Richmond (downtown core and Steveston), Burnaby (Metrotown and Brentwood), and Port Moody/Coquitlam. All of these areas are accessible by train except Steveston, but you can train and bus a short distance. But wow did you capture a lot on this trip. This set should be licensed to tourism company of marketing firm lol

MplsTodd Oct 10, 2022 3:22 AM

Excellent set of photos!! Absolutely love those first two aerials of Mt Rainier & Vancouver. Very impressed with your forays into other communities & areas—pretty comprehensive portrait. I haven’t been to Vancouver since 1996– really need to get back! Staying at one of the classic Canadian railroad hotels is on my bucket list, but chances are the Hotel Vancouver is the most expensive of the bunch!

pip Oct 10, 2022 3:24 AM

Nice! Is Vancouver perfect? Stunning city
