Vancouver

Make Vancouver your official Friendship City and you could win a trip to visit.

What’s a Friendship City? Well, it’s a formal agreement between two cities that share similar goals and interests. Informally, it’s when two cities just click. Vancouver might be kinda far and kinda winter-y, but we have a lot in common with Sydney. Gram-worthy views, spectacular places to get out and energized, and a ton of great food, beer, and cool people to share it with.

Congratulations, Kirk K. for winning our Make Friends with Vancouver Sweepstakes.

Let's be friends with benefits. Lots of them.

We’ll be your cool friend (it’s literally 5℃ here), your outdoorsy friend, your friend who knows all the fancy restaurants, and, occasionally, your friend who gets a little too into hockey games. Let’s hang out, chill out, and get out there. Check out all the fun things we can do together.

Let's conquer the mountain tops.

Three hikers with snowshoes traverse a snowy trail on Seymour Mountain, surrounded by densely forested terrain and large evergreens laden with fresh snow. The foreground shows one hiker in an orange jacket leading, followed by another in blue, and the third in black, all equipped for a winter hike. The serene and untouched snowy landscape engulfs them in a quiet natural setting.

Explore Mount Seymour for family-friendly skiing and snowshoeing, all just a short drive from downtown Vancouver.

Let's hangout..outdoors.

Let's eat fancy artisanal food together.

A smiling woman in a brewery, blurred in the background, holds out a clear glass of golden beer prominently featuring the logo 'Parallel Brewing Co.' The focus is on the glass with the beer, capturing the lively ambiance of the brewery. Behind, a menu board lists various beer options, adding context to the brewery setting.

From craft breweries to world-class cocktail bars, we’ve got plenty of places to raise a glass, find a new favourite, and make a few friends. 

An elegant and artistic sushi platter featuring an assortment of sashimi, shrimp, and garnishes arranged beautifully in a ceramic bowl. Decorative elements include bright flowers, lemon slices, and a dramatic bundle of wheat-like grass extending from the bowl. The setting includes more sushi rolls on a nearby plate and a glass of white wine, creating a sophisticated dining atmosphere.

Everyone needs a fancy friend. Our MICHELIN Star restaurants push Pacific Northwest cuisine to new levels and deliver unforgettable fusions of global flavours.  

Three friends enjoy a warm and cheerful moment outdoors at night, sitting around a fire pit with cups in their hands. They are wearing winter clothing and laughing together, illuminated by the glow of the fire and festive lights twinkling in the background.

When you're done on the hill, we’ve got a list of sushi bars, smashburgers and casual eats so you can rest your legs and stretch your appetite. 

Let's do stuff. Lots of it.
