“As long-time residents, we know first-hand why Vancouver consistently ranks as one of the top cities in North America,” explained Mark D’Antoni, who owns Pink Parrot Maps together with his wife, Renee. “It’s a fantastic place. But without some guidance by locals, visitors can miss out on the most memorable things...the hidden gems and little secret spots that make it so special. We’ve distilled all of that information into one resource. And we never accept advertising or paid listings, so users can trust what they’re reading.”
“As prolific travellers ourselves, we absolutely hate to waste time and money on bad meals and tourists traps. We always seek out local advice. Essentially we designed this map with ourselves in mind -- for people who are not just tourists, but travellers.”
What to Do in Downtown Vancouver covers the city’s most popular areas: Downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, Granville Island, and the entire seaside bike path. Everything on it is in walking or biking distance, making it an excellent resource for anyone taking a cruise out of Vancouver, coming to the 2010 Olympics, staying downtown for business or just visiting the most beautiful city in the world.
