Explore Vancouver on your own, or join ILSC activities and volunteer opportunities to meet other students, connect with locals, and explore all that the city has to offer.

SEE OUR ACTIVITIES CALENDAR Things to do in Vancouver EXPLORE VANCOUVER'S TOP ATTRACTIONS WHILE YOU STUDY ENGLISH Stanley Park This beautiful 1,000 acre park in Vancouver’s downtown is one of the city’s most popular attractions. Stanley park is surrounded by a beautiful 10 km seawall, amazing beaches and a seaside pool. Inside this urban forest park you’ll find the aquarium, an outdoor amphitheatre, cycling and walking trails, restaurants, and more.

Granville Island Quaint and charming Granville Island is the perfect place to spend an afternoon or an evening. In the Granville Island Market you’ll find delicious local artisan foods. The island is home to a brewery, a distillery, an artisan sake maker, and so many amazing restaurants! It’s also a great place to shop for souvenirs, or see street performers, theatre, music shows and more. Plus this is the main hub for the annual Fringe Festival.

English Bay You’re sure to love Vancouver’s most popular and accessible public beach. English Bay is just a short 25-minute bus ride away from the ILSC campus, and is the place to be in Vancouver’s summer. Relax on the beach with friends, grab an ice-cream from a local food truck, or a drink on the patio at the Cactus Club and take in the view. And don’t miss the annual Celebration of Light fireworks events which attract around 1.4 million people each year.

Grouse Mountain You can’t miss a visit to Vancouver’s closest and most popular local mountain. In winter, this is a top choice for skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing, but all year round, Grouse is a great place to go for a hike, or to take in majestic views of the city. Make sure to try the Skyride gondola or check out the “Eye of the Wind”, an observatory inside Grouse Mountain's windmill, offering amazing 360° views.

Canada Place Vancouver’s iconic landmark, with its recognizable “sails” is a popular spot for tourists to explore. Set right in downtown, Canada Place houses a convention centre, a hotel, and a cruise ship terminal. It also includes Fly Over Canada, which offers interactive film experiences that will make you feel like you’re in flight. Canada Place hosts annual Canada Day celebrations, and a variety of other community and arts events.

Science World Originally built for the Expo 86 World Fair, this popular spherical building is immediately recognizable in the Vancouver skyline. Science World is now home to permanent and temporary exhibits designed to meet an amazing mission to “ignite wonder and empower dreams” through science and nature. On top of its exhibits, you can also take in amazing films at the Omnimax theatre inside.

Gastown Check out the place where it all began in 1867. Gastown is the original colonial settlement that eventually became the city of Vancouver. These days, Gastown combines its historic architecture with hip and trendy pubs and nightlife, cool cafés and restaurants, amazing galleries that highlight First Nations (Canadian Indigenous) art, and so much more. Make sure to check out the famous steam clock which whistles to announce the time every 15 minutes.

Whistler The perfect weekend getaway, Whistler is about 2-hours away from Vancouver, and there are regularly scheduled busses that will take you there. Whistler is the west coast’s most popular ski resort, made even more famous by the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but it’s the perfect escape any time of year. Enjoy year-round festivals, skiing, hiking, mountain biking and the restaurants and shops in walkable Whistler Village.

Student Stories "I wanted to get work experience in Canada, and also this program offers general business classes and then more practical courses. The courses helped me a lot when I worked for a company, because I needed to train new employees, and I knew how to deal with that kind of situation. This program, and co-op term, I think will be really helpful for my future." Takanori Hidaka, Japan Student Stories "I like all of my classes, and I really like the way of teaching. I also really like the assignments that we have for group presentations – they’re really fun and it also helps us to learn how to work with people from other countries and other cultures." Michaela Boledovicova, Slovakia Student Stories "The teachers at ILSC see you as someone who wants to learn a new language to grow professionally and personally.  They are always there to support you, to give you tips and advice. My dream was to learn English and I made it. Honest feedback helped me to work on the areas that I needed to improve." Daniel Ortiz, Mexico Follow us on Instagram Ready to make the next step?
