KITSILANO
Kitsilano’s golden beach is a summertime hotspot
for volleyball players, swimmers, kayakers, and sun
worshippers. “Kits,” as it’s known locally, is mainly
clustered around the beach and the shops on West
4th Avenue and West Broadway.

KERRISDALE
Kerrisdale’s main shopping area is known
to many as the “village.” It’s only 20
minutes from Vancouver’s downtown and
offers more than 200 diverse shops and
services along quiet tree-lined streets.

Where the 4 minute mile was broken
by the Empire games, Hastings-Sunrise
is best known as the home of the Pacific
National Exhibition. Made by hand in
Vancouver since 1946, you can visit the
historic Dayton factory.
WEST END
Tucked up tightly against the city’s downtown
core, the West End is one of the easiest
neighbourhoods for visitors to explore, getting
a real taste of how Vancouverites live! These
days, it’s an incredibly diverse area, home to
the city’s LGBTQAI2S+ community (centred
around Davie Village), heritage homes, and
around 40,000 people living in high-rise
apartments. The parks and beaches are the
main attractions, but the people-watching and
dining come in close behind. Summertime sees
hundreds of thousands of people flock to English
Bay to watch the Celebration of Light, a free
international fireworks competition that lights up
the neighbourhood every year! Head here early
if you want to bag a spot on the beach as it gets
pretty crowded as the day goes on.

COAL HARBOUR
Vancouver is known as the City of Glass, and the glinting condos of
Coal Harbour are a prime example of why and how it earned this
moniker. Close to the attractions of Canada place and the nature of
stanley park, Coal Harbour is starting to attract foodies to the
neighbourhood with clusters of new restaurants.
