Where to Base
Staying in the downtown core or near the airport is recommended. Downtown offers easy access to dining and shopping, while airport-proximate hotels provide maximum convenience for business travelers with early flights or short layovers.
Getting Around
Travel within the city relies primarily on cars or taxis. Public transit is limited, but car rentals are readily available. Allow ample time for trips to Whistler or Vancouver, making it suitable for guests planning extensive regional exploration.
Best Season
Summer (June to August) offers pleasant weather, ideal for outdoor events like the Cherry Festival. Winter appeals to skiers heading to nearby mountains. Spring and autumn have fewer tourists, providing a quieter accommodation experience.
