Friendly Burnaby will entice you
The lake and surrounding scenery provide a peaceful ambiance to your vacation home in Burnaby. Well known for its shopping, sporting events and restaurants, this welcoming city won't disappoint. Port of Vancouver and Canada Place are just a couple of the must-sees in the area. A vacation rental can help make your stay complete—many rentals come with a full kitchen and laundry facilities.
Satisfy that culture craving in the heart of Burnaby
Crave culture? You need to see the Burnaby Village Museum, where the 1920s are brought to life. Check the Burnaby Art Gallery to indulge your inner Picasso, or pay homage to the city’s most famous son and catch a show at the Michael J. Fox Theatre. The exhibits at the Simon Fraser University Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology will especially thrill science junkies. It’s absolutely required viewing if you’ve booked a Burnaby vacation rental: head straight to Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden to view one of the world’s most inspiring botanical beauties.
Don't forget to pack your sense of adventure
Seeing Burnaby in full may well require hopping aboard a sky ride and taking an aerial tour for pristine panoramic views. It’s worth it, as are the harbor cruises that glide over the water. If you’re more adventurous, make the trek over Capilano Suspension Bridge for killer forest and water views. And what if you just want to go sightseeing and maybe check out a whale or two? Head to Burrard Inlet and keep your eyes peeled while marveling at the majestic beauty of Burnaby, or stick to land and check out the countless boutiques downtown.
Fresh air unlike anywhere else--no, really
Smell that? It’s fresh air unlike any other you’ve ever experienced before—and that’s not just hyperbole. Even if it was, though, you could book your Burnaby vacation rental with the confidence that you’re approaching a nearly perfect climate. The area, protected by mountains, rarely dives below the mid 40s in the winter and enjoys a steady temperature in the high 70s during summertime. Snow isn’t very common, even in the winter, but bring your city slickers—rain most definitely is on the menu.
Metro charm mixed with adventurous grit
Situated in metropolitan Vancouver, Burnaby is dotted with charming neighborhoods that lend it a distinctive character. There are abodes set beside Deer Lake, abundant urban parks with sandy shorelines, and nearly endless views of the Coast Mountains from many areas within Burnaby. Watch closely for sightings of black bears, blacktail deer, and cougars. One of its highest points is the commanding Burnaby Mountain. A rolling landscape of hills and valleys, Burnaby isn’t committed to any one look—it boasts a diverse design that would undoubtedly win awards if it were anything but nature made.
