For a total immersion in Vancouver's culture, we will rent a bike on Denman Street and go on a tour of one of the largest urban parks in North America: Stanley Park. Once a military stronghold to protect the city from the Japanese, it is now a must for Vancouver's athletes, who come here to train in jogging, cycling or walking. You come to breathe in the middle of its half a million trees, some of which are more than 100 years old! You can also admire the nine totem poles at Brockton Point, reproductions of some remnants of First Nations culture in western Canada, such as the Haida Gwaii.
The bike park tour takes about an hour on the Seawall. Be careful to respect the traffic rules: you drive in one direction from north to south on the well delimited bicycle path. And we don't forget the helmet, which is mandatory!
In Vancouver, the bike is king!
