Opening HoursWhere To Go in British Columbia
British Columbia is home to arguably one of the best ski resorts in the world, the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world, and the city of Vancouver, where you can see the Pacific coast on one side and snow-capped mountains on the other. Vancouver Island provides the perfect wilderness escape for any nature lover, while the buzzing city of Vancouver itself has a foodie scene hugely influenced by its relatively close Asian neighbours. As a region, it showcases the very best of what Canada has to offer, and our recommendations for where to go do the same.
