Place to see: Stanley Park, Vancouver, Canada

About this place:

Just a short distance from Vancouver's downtown core is its magnificent Stanley Park. The urban park, consisting of 400+ hectares (1,000 acres), it is a natural paradise used for hiking, walking, dining, swimming, and photographing spectacular views of the city and its north shores. A seawall hugs the park's boundaries and many cycle, skate, and walk the 5.5 mile (8.8km) paved path.

Vancouver's Aquarium attraction is located within the park's boundaries.
