Guide to Visiting Vancouver, Vancouver, Canada

One of the things I love most about Vancouver is the city鈥檚 juxtaposition of old and new, natural and manmade. From its aboriginal roots to modern glass skyscrapers, layers of history are intertwined throughout this city. It鈥檚 also a place where you actually聽want聽to be outside, whether your desire is to actively explore versus relax in one of the many lush green spaces is another story. Here鈥檚 a guide of what you need to know.

If you鈥檙e arriving at the Vancouver International Airport, the best way to get to the city via public transportation is to take the聽SkyTrain聽from the YVR-Airport Station towards Waterfront Station on the Canada Line. It鈥檚 the only line available at the airport and will drop you in the heart of Downtown in about 30 minutes. The city is in the process of introducing reloadable electronic fare cards that will require passengers to 鈥渢ap in鈥� when entering and 鈥渢ap out鈥� when leaving a station or bus, but until the cards are fully rolled out you can continue to purchase a Zone 2 paper ticket from one of the automated kiosks at the airport station. The same ticket is used across the entire system (SkyTrain, buses and SeaBus passenger ferries) and includes a 90 minute transfer, plus on weekends all of the zones are the same price. If you鈥檙e arriving by train at the Pacific Central Station you can hop on the Millennium or Expo Line from the Main Street Station towards Downtown.
