Walking in Vancouver

Vancouver's downtown peninsula is ringed by a seawall path, with Gastown's old streets, Stanley Park's forest and mountains across the water.

Terrain. Flat and paved along the seawall; gentle hills downtown; cobbles in Gastown.

Rain. December and January are the coldest, wettest months, with daytime highs of around 5 to 8°C. Bring a proper rain jacket from late autumn to early spring. Spring and summer are drier.
