It’s a bucket-list topper. Here, the Pride Parade is big, cannabis cafés are aplenty, and the setting and views are grand. You can slow-drift up False Creek on a Zodiac boat for a full-on of the city skyline, tuck into some smoked salmon pasta at Gigi’s in downtown, sip a buttery, handcrafted vodka at the Yaletown Distilling Company, shake that booty at a dance club in the Granville entertainment district, and watch the Canucks play some spirited hockey at the Canada Hockey Place in Gastown. It’s as deeply Canadian a city as you’ll find on Planet E!
