Transportation

Travelers can use public transportation, such as buses, trains or ferries to get around Vancouver. The cost for a day pass is approximately $10. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also available, but can be expensive, especially for longer trips. Renting a car may be useful for day trips to Whistler, but parking in the city can be difficult and expensive.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia or the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. For those with less time, skip a day trip to Whistler and instead spend more time exploring Vancouver's neighborhoods, such as Yaletown, Main Street, and Commercial Drive.

Airports

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is the main airport serving Vancouver. It is located approximately 12 km south of downtown Vancouver and it takes around 30 min by public transportation to get to the city center.
