According to Frommer’s, Vancouver is one of the world’s most walkable cities. Within city limits it would be hard to argue that statement as one can easily walk anywhere, especially in downtown Vancouver where walking is sometimes faster than getting in your car, being stuck in traffic and then trying to find and pay for parking.

Here is what they had to say about our fair city:

Vancouver, British Columbia

Whether you’re into walking or hiking, you won’t be disappointed in Vancouver, a city that seems to have been designed with exercise in mind.

Where to Walk: Take the picturesque False Creek shoreline promenade over to Granville Island to explore the shops, cafes, and Public Market. From here, stroll through Sea Village, the city’s unique houseboat community; cross the Stamp’s Landing footbridge beneath the Cambie Street Bridge; and end at the ScienceWorld dome. The 1 ½ -mile walk through Ambleside Park is a combination of water, coastal mountain views, sculptures, duck ponds, and Lions Gate Bridge, or stroll along Marine Drive for a selection of shops and restaurants.

A six-mile walk around Stanley Park lets you experience breathtaking views, inner city beaches, public art, lighthouses, and other city landmarks as you make your way around the peninsula shore.
