Getting Here

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.

Car

Hop in the car and go. Burnaby sits right at the centre of Metro Vancouver, with Highway 1, Lougheed Highway, Barnet Highway, Kingsway, and Marine Drive all leading straight here. Once you arrive, bouncing between neighbourhoods becomes part of the fun.

Plane

Flying in? Vancouver International Airport is your gateway. YVR is about 25-40 minutes from Burnaby by car, and public transit runs straight from the airport into the city, so you can touch down and get moving without fuss.

Ferry

Arriving from Vancouver Island or the Sunshine Coast? Burnaby is about 35 minutes from Tsawwassen and roughly 30 minutes from Horseshoe Bay by car, depending on traffic. From either ferry terminal, transit connections also carry you straight into the city.
