About Tourism
Burnaby
We share Burnaby as a place to visit and experience, working with partners
across the city to support tourism and strengthen the local economy.
Burnaby sits just east of Vancouver in the heart of Metro Vancouver. It is easy to reach by SkyTrain, with 11 stations across the city, and by major roadways with multiple highway access points.
Burnaby is known for its distinct neighbourhoods, global flavours, cultural diversity, and access to nature. The city offers more than 150 parks and trails, two major lakes, a vibrant arts scene, and a mix of shopping from big brands to local makers.
It’s easy to get here. Take the SkyTrain and arrive in minutes, or travel by car, bike, bus, taxi, or rideshare. Burnaby connects directly to major roads, transit lines, and cycling routes.
Explore forested trails, paddle on city lakes, visit galleries and museums, catch a show, or enjoy global cuisine from local chefs. Shop big brands or discover independent makers, stroll neighbourhood streets, and take in views from Burnaby Mountain.
Yes. Burnaby is an easygoing, welcoming city with nature, culture, food, and experiences all close at hand. Many visitors stay longer than planned and return often because the city simply feels good to be in.
Leading Burnaby’s visitor economy and destination development
Tourism Burnaby is a destination management organization focused on how the city is experienced, by both visitors and the people who live and work here.
We work across marketing, partnerships, and event development to showcase Burnaby’s neighbourhoods, experiences, and opportunities. At the centre of Metro Vancouver, the city offers a balance of urban energy and natural space, making it easy to explore.
Our role is to shape that experience and support a visitor economy that creates lasting value for local businesses, communities, and the city as a whole.
