Getting Around

Vancouver is a breeze to get around. Walkers love compact downtown, with wide sidewalks and plenty of coffee shops along the way. Take your blades or your bike to Kitsilano or Commercial, or act like a local and hop on a public bus or skytrain. There are plenty of car rental shops, and ferries to take you to and from Vancouver Island.

Even though you could easily fill your vacation's days with activities in and around Vancouver, if you'd like to go further a field there's plenty of accessible spots to experience more of BC. Vancouver Island (including Victoria) is a short ferry ride away, while Whistler, the Okanagan and pristine wilderness are accessible by car or bus.

Air Trips

With a short time or a penchant for the big picture, aerial tours and transportation by air is a great option. Downtown flightseeing enables you to grasp the scope of Stanley Park and the North Shore mountains, while flying to Whistler or Vancouver Island offers a bird's eye view of the wilds of British Columbia (both the forested and the cosmopolitan sort).
