5 free things in Vancouver, from parks to Gastown

Public art dots the urban landscape and there are miles of beaches and forested walks readily accessible by transit bus or train. Stroll along the English Bay sea wall from the trendy West End neighborhood, under the Lions Gate suspension bridge, and watch freighters and cruise ships passing beneath with mountains as a backdrop. Or cut through the park's forested center and meander along fern-lined paths as old-growth rain forest cedars tower above, cutting past Beaver Lake as herons fly overhead. A favorite with locals and visitors alike, bustling Granville Island rests on the south shore of False Creek with views of downtown, English Bay and 2010 Winter Olympics venues. A vast outdoor deck looks onto False Creek where visitors feed seagulls and enjoy performance artists. Stroll down the tree-lined, cobbled sidewalks of Water Street from Waterfront Station and enjoy buskers, pop into a west coast aboriginal art gallery.
