Spring

Every spring, the city comes alive with vibrant colours. One of the best places in the world to see cherry blossoms, find rows of blooming trees painting the streets pink.

Summer

As July rolls around, Vancouver buzzes with energy–cyclists, runners, beach-goers, and city dwellers rejoice in the sun and soak in the long, warm days.

Autumn

Vancouver’s wet season feeds the city with life fuelling rain and fresh air. In contrast to grey skies, experience vibrant green parks and a rainbow of fall colours.
