Couples getaway in Vancouver
Overview
Looking for luxurious accommodation, romantic candle-lit cuisine, or scenic spots to steal a kiss?
Make memories
Get an early start at Café Pacifica in the Pan Pacific Vancouver, a light-filled space on the waterfront. While you sip your coffee and enjoy one of the city's best breakfast buffets, you and your loved one can take in the views that Vancouver is famous for.
When you've finished, take a moment to check out FlyOver Canada, a 4D flight simulator that takes you on an immersive virtual experience soaring high above the country, complete with wind, scents, and even mist.
Experience nature
This afternoon take a trip to Stanley Park, Vancouver's 1,000-acre urban rainforest. The best way to get around is on two wheels, so rent a bike from Spokes Bicycle Rentals before you head into this 133-year-old oasis. Alongside rainforest trails and 28km of seawall to explore there are several stunning beaches - the perfect place to enjoy a romantic picnic for two.
If cycling isn't your thing, take a romantic loop of the park with Stanley Park Horse-Drawn Tours. You can even stop at the world-renowned Vancouver Aquarium to enjoy an encounter with some rescued marine animals.
An evening on the town
Tonight you'll take a stroll around Vancouver's bustling downtown core. Start at Robson and Burrard streets—an area synonymous with the city's best shopping. There you'll find the Pacific Centre, a downtown mall filled with leading brands as well as upscale department stores like Nordstrom. Once you've worked up an appetite it's time for a candle-lit dinner at Chambar Restaurant, a chic spot that serves up Belgian-inspired cuisine in a casual setting.

Catch the sunset
If you have time, head to the aptly named Sunset Beach for some breathtaking evening views. The spot is a local favourite for couples and is so romantic that there's even a 30ft structure of two engagement rings.
