Things we love around the Lower Mainland
Food scene
As one of the greatest craft beer cities in Canada, and for that matter North America, a visit to a local brewery is a must, and there is no better option than Strange Fellows Brewing in East Vancouver. Grab a flight of beer, a quick bite to eat, and just maybe you will happen to visit the brewery on one of their monthly events, which celebrate the Strange.

A once industrial area in the middle of last century, Yaletown has become a great place to shop, stroll the streets, grab a bite to eat and take in a small piece of the city. Easily accessible by foot or by skytrain.

Few ski resorts in the world are as incredible as Whistler. We recommend spending at least 2 nights in Whistler. The drive up the Sea to Sky highway is out of this world on a clear day.

Traveler advice
Don't miss
Rent a bike and ride the sea-wall from downtown to Kits
Get yourself downtown, rent a bike from one of the bike shops at Denman and Georgia - we recommend Spokes - and enjoy a day riding around the sea wall and all the way to Kitsilano and beyond. Its a great way to see our lovely city and there are views at every turn.
