Vancouver's Hidden Gems

Explore Vancouver's lesser-known landmarks, from the 1972 "Girl in a Wetsuit" bronze sculpture to the daily 21:00 firing of the historic Nine O'Clock Gun. The city's urban fabric includes the vibrant Ackery’s Alley, known as The Pink Alley, and the Art Gallery Cafe’s secluded outdoor terrace. Culinary spots range from Kingyo’s Japanese izakaya cuisine to the vintage Polynesian atmosphere of The Shameful Tiki Room. Natural escapes include the 38-hectare forested trails of Everett Crowley Park and the local neighborhood charm of the West End's Cardero Botega.
