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.
