With a slight dip in the mercury and the necessity for rain gear as one’s constant companion, the vibrantly hued vermilion foliage of tree-lined downtown sidewalks, as well as along city squares, signals that autumn is truly in full swing.
Rain or shine, there’s always plenty of bustling activity throughout the downtown core. At Vancouver Art Gallery’s Plaza North, you’ll find a weekly Farmer’s Market offering wares of fresh produce and handcrafted artisanal goods. If you’re ready to take a break from the frenetic pace, try a leisurely stroll or cycle on the Coal Harbour Seawall, where there are picturesque views of water, mountain, and Stanley Park. You can catch a sun-dappled glimpse at the bustling marina for boats, houseboats, and water taxis, not to mention a waterway for commuter planes and helicopters to Vancouver Island.
