Lonely Planet review

Although surrounded by undeveloped waterfront and enjoying a verdant, tree-lined location, the UBC campus - complete with 44,000 students - is a bustling, building-packed minicity. If you have the time, it's worth a day out from downtown since there's plenty to do here and lots of easy-to-find lunch and coffee spots. Consider a free walking tour to get your bearings.

If you fancy a swim, the UBC Aquatic Centre is open to the public. The free-entry Belkin Gallery, which focuses on contemporary art, and the popular Chan Centre concert venue will keep visiting arties occupied.
