Stanley Park

Stanley Park earns its spot on our list as one of the most stunning urban green spaces in the world. Nestled between Vancouver’s vibrant cityscape and the glistening waters of Burrard Inlet and English Bay, this 405-hectare park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and outdoor fun. Visitors can stroll or cycle along the iconic 9-km Seawall, explore lush forest trails, and visit landmarks like the Vancouver Aquarium or the famous First Nations totem poles. With scenic beaches, picnic areas, horse-drawn carriage rides, and panoramic views at every turn, Stanley Park is where city life and nature meet in breathtaking harmony.
