Vancouver - Day Trips from Vancouver (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
- British Columbia’s historic waterfront capital, Victoria, combines colonial charm, a brilliant museum and a pub-tastic craft-beer scene.
- In the shadow of the mountains, gable-roofed Whistler doubles as an idyllic ski resort in the winter and Canada’s favourite outdoor activity destination in summer.
- Richmond’s modern day Chinatown is home to North America’s best Asian shopping and dining scene, while nearby waterfront fishing village Steveston has some great museums.
- Just a scenic floatplane trip from Vancouver, each of the Southern Gulf Islands has its own distinctive feel, with Salt Spring Island as the main escape.
