Nelson the Seagull Cafe

First time in Vancouver? Only one day to explore? This guide is a great introduction to some of Vancouver's most popular and beloved neighborhoods! Starting at the historic Gastown, followed by a visit of the busy harbor, a little shopping or just a stroll to explore some (or all) of the beautiful Stanley Park, followed by a visit to the eclectic Granville Island before watching a sunset on the beach, finished off with some late night dinner and drinks in the bustling Yaletown. This see it all and do it all guide is perfect for those looking to get as much as possible out of their visit! Food/drink recommendations have been visited by yours truly, recommended by some very trustworthy friends that are just as passionate about having a delicious meal and drink(s), or found through online recommendations. This guide is walking, biking, ride-share service, and public transportation friendly. Have questions? Want to see and explore more? Need help planning a trip?

How to see the city like a cool girl 😎 The cool spots to stay, eat & play!

If you’re working remotely in Vancouver, you’ll most likely get to the point where you have to accept that your connection on Cypress is terrible, and if you’re trying to have another (questionably exhausted) work call at 9 in the morning, you’ll soon have a LOT of time to explore those BC trails. And, if that’s your goal: Fair enough, go and have a badass backcountry hot girl summer and enjoy the hell out of those beautiful mountains! But if it isn’t (and you really need those dollar dollar bills for that heli-bike tour you booked up Squamish) – then this Guide is for you. It sums up my favourite cafés in metro Vancouver, that perfectly combine calm and aesthetic interiors with that sweet spot of good coffee, nutritious food, a strong wifi connection and a couple of locals wishing you a very good day (you are still in Canada after all).
