The stunning Lion's Gate Bridge connects the North Shore with downtown Vancouver. It is especially spectacular when it is all lit up at night. The bridge spans Vancouver's harbour and welcomes cruiseships and other craft from all over the world as they sail under the bridge to arrive at the port. More

Rather than drive across it, try walking across! You'll get amazing views of the city as well as the north shore mountains. More
