Take a royal-inspired tour of Vancouver
Vancouver’s most regal urban park is a must-see on any royal inspired tour. The sprawling 52-hectare park is situated 152 metres above sea level (making it the highest point in the city) and was first dedicated by King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth during their visit to Vancouver in 1939. Today, the park is home to some of the world’s most beautiful landscaping and includes breathtaking floral displays and ornamental gardens, fountains and sculptures (including Knife Edge-Two Piece, a dramatic bronze cast installation by famed British sculptor Henry Moore), an indoor conservatory and an elegant restaurant.
