With only 24 hours in Vancouver before boarding our very first cruise to Alaska, we hit the ground running! This was our first time visiting the city and we had our baby and the grandparents in tow. So, what exactly can you do with 1 day in Vancouver? We managed to hit up some of the city's main attractions like Gastown, which is the oldest neighbourhood in the city, we got to see the Port of Vancouver by boat, we enjoyed a fish and chips meal at Lonsdale Quay, and we visited Stanley Park in search of totem poles. We also made use of Vancouver's transportation system by getting a day pass, which gave us access to the SkyTrain, the SeaBus, and the city's bus system. This is our mini travel guide to Vancouver in one day. We hope you enjoy it and we'll see you in the next video as we begin the journey north to Alaska! #vancouver #vancity 🌟 24 Hours in Vancouver, Canada: Family Guide | SkyTrain, Gastown, Stanley Park & SeaBus Adventure 🌟 Welcome to our ultimate 24-hour family travel guide exploring Vancouver, British Columbia! 🌲✨ Traveling with a baby and grandparents, our challenge was to discover Vancouver’s best attractions, local eats, and stunning natural views, all in just one day.
