Travel to Burnaby, Canada

Posted by Lori Henry Feb 29, 2008

Burnaby, Canada is the neighbouring suburb of Vancouver, BC. Just a 20 or 30 minute drive east, it abounds with shopping, activities and hotels that are less expensive than those in Vancouver.

One of the best attractions is the Burnaby Village Museum. With nothing like it in Vancouver, this interactive museum takes you back in time. Volunteers are dressed in period costumes from the 1920’s and become actual people from British Columbia’s history.

For accommodation tips, see my article on Burnaby Hotels for your options. Most are located around Metrotown, the largest shopping complex in BC, which means they’re close to the SkyTrain hub. This will get you downtown Vancouver in 20 minutes without having to rent a car.

Burnaby is a great outskirt to see the city and explore adjacent Vancouver.
