Everything you need to know about Vancouver

Vancouver is Canada's West Coast city where the ocean meets the mountains — glassy downtown towers back onto Stanley Park's ancient rainforest, the North Shore peaks rise straight from the harbour, and neighbourhoods like Gastown, Yaletown and Kitsilano brim with independent coffee, seafood and craft beer. Mild, walkable and outdoorsy, it's an easy long-weekend break for Canadians.

  • Weather & packing: Bring a light rain jacket and layers year-round — summers are warm and dry, but rain is common from late fall to spring.
