In Vancouver, a vibrant metropolis of quirky villages surrounded by striking vistas, there’s no telling where a day will take you. Start your experience on the right foot by strolling across the brightly colored rainbow crosswalk and let your adventure begin! You could easily spend hours exploring West End, a trendy residential neighborhood packed with chic boutiques and diverse dining options and dotted with Insta-ready art installations, or maybe you’re more interested in beachside Kitsilano, a former hippie hangout with a relaxed atmosphere that attracts laid-back, sun-kissed residents. Nature-lovers can squeeze in a quick walk through peaceful Vanier Park, while foodies can try virtually any cuisine in a city with countless cultures.
