Kitsilano
Beach, yoga, laid-back

Across the bridge from downtown: Kits Beach, the outdoor saltwater pool and West 4th's cafés. Relaxed, with good-value rooms.

Indie, breweries, vintage

Craft breweries, record shops and the best independent restaurants, a bus ride south of downtown.

West End
Residential, beaches, park

Leafy streets of apartment blocks between Stanley Park and English Bay, with the Davie Village and the beach. The best base for walkers.

Gastown
Cobbles, bars, heritage

The city's oldest streets around the steam clock: brick warehouses, cocktail bars and restaurants. Edges onto the Downtown Eastside.

Yaletown
Lofts, restaurants, seawall

Converted warehouses on False Creek with patios, condos and the seawall running past.

Downtown & Coal Harbour
Towers, harbour, seaplanes

The core of glass towers on the harbour, with the grand hotels, the convention centre and the seaplane terminal. Stanley Park is a walk away.
