Introducing Lower Mainland
While downtown Vancouver and its accessible environs always get the lion’s share of attention from visitors, smart travelers with time on their hands usually explore a little further than the boundaries of their free Tourism Vancouver map. A drive or transit trek over the soaring Lions Gate Bridge will deliver you to the forest-fringed doorstep of North Vancouver and West Vancouver, complete with their outdoors attractions and waterfront views, while a short-hop ferry from Horseshoe Bay takes you over to Bowen Island for a rustic day excursion. Closer to town, Richmond is a bustling Asian-flavored metropolis; Burnaby houses the region’s biggest shopping attraction; and Fort Langley is a historic village that recalls the region’s colorful pioneer days.
