For anyone arriving in Vancouver on the Canadian.....an interesting side trip is Victoria on Vancouver Island.....where palm trees are growing around the Inner Harbour even in December.
Its 120 km from downtown Vancouver to downtown Victoria and it can all be done quite easily on frequent public transit along with a ferry ride. Take a Skytrain from Waterfront Station. They run every 3 to 4 minutes.....changing at Bridgeport to a #620 bus (at least every hour) to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. Total distance in 35 km and the fare is $4. The Skytrains are automated and driverless so everyone gets as good view out the wide front window.
