This world class destination has long been popular with visitors from every corner of the globe. A spectacular natural setting with a beautiful harbour and relatively mild climate makes Vancouver a great place to visit anytime of the year. If you love the laid back atmosphere, mountain vistas, and plenty of outdoor activities, you won&#8217;t be disappointed with your stay in this magnificent city.\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"Understand\">Helpful Resources for Visiting Vancouver<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"Get_in\">Airports<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yvr.ca\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vancouver International Airport<\/a> is the main point of entry into Vancouver.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abbotsfordairport.ca\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Abbotsford International Airport<\/a> is located about 35 miles east in the beautiful Fraser Valley. It is sometimes used as an alternate for Vancouver. If you are planning on spending time exploring the Fraser Valley more than the city, it would be a good choice.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Get_around\">Public Transportation<\/h3>\n<p>Vancouver has an extensive public transportation network operated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.translink.ca\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Translink<\/a> and its subsidiarys. The system consists of Light Rapid Transit, both above and below grade, commonly refered to as SkyTrain, an extensive bus network including some rapid bus routes, and a Seabus passenger ferry that crosses between Waterfront Station in Downtown Vancouver and the Lonsdale Key in North Vancouver. <\/p>\n<p>The Canada Line LRT provides inexpensive 25 minute service from the main terminal at Vancouver International Airport to Downtown Vancouver. It can be a good option if you don&#8217;t have too many bags.<\/p>\n<h3>Tourism Vancouver<\/h3>\n<p>The official tourism website for Vancouver is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourismvancouver.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tourism Vancouver<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"See\">Activities and Tours<\/h3>\n<p>For attraction tickets, activities and guided tours visit <a href=\"http:\/\/adventures.tourbytransit.com\/en\/11605\/Vancouver\/d616-ttd?activities=all\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vancouver activities and tours<\/a> on our sister site.<\/p>\n<div id=\"Districts\">\n<div id='Map_Embed' class='widgets_on_page wop_tiny1  wop_small1  wop_medium1  wop_large1  wop_wide1'>\n\t\t\t<ul><li id=\"custom_html-7\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html\"><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><div id=\"map\" style=\"height:420px;margin-bottom:15px;border:1px solid #555\"><\/div>\r\n    <script>\r\n      var map;\r\n      function initMap() {\r\n        map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {\r\n          center: {lat: , lng: },\r\n          zoom: 12\r\n        });\r\n      }\r\n    <\/script>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/maps.googleapis.com\/maps\/api\/js?key=AIzaSyAtoZ5mmRmQTMlLRrDDYPSp7DM3TZqrSVA&callback=initMap\"\r\n    async defer><\/script><\/div><\/li><li id=\"custom_html-9\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html\"><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><!-- widgets_on_page -->\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"Sleep\">\n<div id='Hotel_Section' class='widgets_on_page wop_tiny1  wop_small1  wop_medium1  wop_large1  wop_wide1'>\n\t\t\t<ul><li id=\"custom_html-4\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html\"><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><strong>Compare Deals on  Hotels<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"custom-section\" style=\"height:auto; overflow:hidden\"><script  charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    window.TP_FORM_SETTINGS = window.TP_FORM_SETTINGS || {};\r\n    window.TP_FORM_SETTINGS[\"40d256e38a39b43fc61240bb6f7401e8\"] = {\r\n\"handle\": \"40d256e38a39b43fc61240bb6f7401e8\",\r\n\"widget_name\": \"Departure Guides\",\r\n\"border_radius\": \"0\",\r\n\"additional_marker\": \"DGH\",\r\n\"width\": null,\r\n\"show_logo\": false,\r\n\"show_hotels\": false,\r\n\"form_type\": \"avia_hotel\",\r\n\"locale\": \"en\",\r\n\"currency\": \"usd\",\r\n\"sizes\": \"default\",\r\n\"search_target\": \"_self\",\r\n\"active_tab\": \"hotel\",\r\n\"search_host\": \"deals.departureguides.com\/flights\",\r\n\"hotels_host\": \"deals.departureguides.com\/hotels\",\r\n\"hotel\": {\r\n\"name\": \"\",\r\n\"location\": \"\",\r\n},\r\n\"hotel_alt\": \"Hotellook - hotel price comparison.
