From the renowned beauty of Stanley Park to the shimmering vibrance of the downtown core, Vancouver has much to delight the senses. A trip up the gondola at Grouse Mountain on the North Shore offers an impressive view back over the city, from a comfortable 4,000 meters up. The sharp contrast of the modern cityscape with the surrounding greenery and mountain peaks is sure to leave lasting impressions.
