Vancouver on Foot

Walking tours cover Vancouver’s layered identity — the First Nations history (the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations), the colonial-era Gastown founding, the multicultural neighbourhoods (Chinatown, Punjabi Market, Little Italy on Commercial Drive), the contemporary architecture (the glass towers of Coal Harbour and Yaletown), and the waterfront (the Seawall, English Bay, the harbour). Vancouver is compact and walkable — the downtown peninsula is approximately 4 kilometres long, and the major neighbourhoods are connected by the Seawall and the city’s pedestrian-friendly streets.
