Burnaby brings together distinct neighbourhoods, diverse cuisines, and everyday access to nature. With more than 150 parks and trails, two major lakes, a busy calendar of arts and performances, and shopping that ranges from familiar names to unexpected finds, there’s a lot to do in a day here. What are we known for? That’s up to you.

Getting here is quick and direct. The SkyTrain runs directly from Vancouver to Burnaby, with multiple stops throughout the city. You can also arrive by car, bike, bus, taxi, or rideshare, with major roads, transit lines, and cycling routes linking Burnaby from every direction.

Stretch your legs on forest trails or paddle across local lakes. Get inspired in galleries and museums, catch a live show, or grab a bite at one of many mouthwatering restaurants. Shop malls, markets, and neighbourhood spots, wander city streets, then finish the day on Burnaby Mountain for wide-open views.

Of course, we’d say yes, and most visitors agree. Burnaby is welcoming, well-connected, and full of experiences worth your time and energy. Eat well, move around easily, relax in a park, or catch something unexpected. Set your own pace, and don’t be surprised if you stay longer than planned.
