Vancouver: BC’s Creative Capital

Explore the Vancouver Art Gallery, discover murals in Mount Pleasant, or immerse yourself in Indigenous culture at venues like the Bill Reid Gallery. With year-round festivals, art markets, and vibrant neighbourhoods like Granville Island and the Downtown Eastside, Vancouver is a must for any cultural traveler.
