Tours & Road Trips in New Westminster

New Westminster: History Meets Contemporary Art

Once the capital of British Columbia, New Westminster has reinvented itself as a vibrant centre for arts and culture along the Fraser River. The city is home to a diverse community of artists, a rich colonial and Indigenous history, and venues like the Anvil Centre and the New Media Gallery that bring innovative works to the public.

Visitors can take a self-guided mural tour, shop at artisan markets, or attend cultural festivals that reflect the city’s multicultural identity. Just minutes from Vancouver, New Westminster is a creative stop that blends old-world charm with modern expression.
