BY AIR Most visitors travel to Vancouver by air, taking advantage of a convenient network of international flights and a number of airlines. You’ll pass through Vancouver International Airport (YVR), a modern and award-winning facility. yvr.ca

BY CAR If you’re travelling from the United States, you can drive across the border in your car or RV. Interstate 5 (I-5) from Seattle becomes Highway 99 across the Canada/U.S. border, leading directly to Vancouver.

BY RAIL Rail travel in Western Canada is a scenic and memorable way to travel.

Pacific Central Station is located just outside downtown Vancouver and offers routes to destinations across Canada and the Pacific Northwest.

VIA Rail, Amtrak and Rocky Mountaineer offer rail services to and from Vancouver. viarail.ca, amtrak.com, rockymountaineer.com

BY FERRY One of the great experiences when visiting Vancouver is taking a ferry to points beyond the city. If you’re planning to visit Victoria or Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, you can take a passenger ferry across the Strait of Georgia.

You can also explore the Sunshine Coast, Haida Gwaii

and a variety of smaller islands near Vancouver.

For more information about ferry service in and around Vancouver, visit the BC Ferries website. bcferries.com

GETTING AROUND

Tipping your server at a bar, restaurant, nightclub or pub is standard practice, and in general, a tip of 15 to 20 per cent of the pre-tax amount is suggested. Porters at airports, railway stations and hotels are generally given $1 to $2 per bag.

TAXES A federal goods and services tax (GST) of five per cent applies to most purchased goods and services. In addition, a provincial sales tax (PST) of seven per cent is applicable to most retail purchases except liquor, which is taxed at 10 per cent.

ALCOHOL AND SMOKING Minors (anyone under 19 years of age) are not admitted into nightclubs serving alcohol. In Vancouver, smoking is not permitted in any indoor public space (including public transit, shopping malls, restaurants, pubs, nightclubs and casinos) or outdoors within six metres of a door or window of a public space. Please smoke in designated areas only.
