Spend a worthwhile weekend in British Columbia’s largest city Vancouver to sample the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
From awesome breweries, stunning landscapes and delicious cuisine, Vancouver has it all!
Here's my guide to Vancouver in a weekend:

Brewery hopping
Vancouver’s microbreweries are the talk of the town—and if you feel like some company, book a tour with a fun company like Vancouver Brewery Tours. The best neighborhood is East Vancouver, where you’ll find most of the top breweries clumped together.
Stop by Granville Island Brewing, which opened in 1984 as Canada’s first microbrewery, or sample the popular brews at 33 Acres Brewing Company, who craft a range of delicious floral IPAs, schwarzbiers, and lemony Belgians.
You’ll find smaller, neighborhood breweries with tasting rooms, like Brassneck Brewery that have fun atmospheres as well!
Food trucks
There are awesome food trucks abound in Vancouver, and there’s no better way to fill your tummy up for a low price. Grab a smoothie at the Juice Truck or a handheld pie at the Aussie Pie Guy.
If you’re a cheese-lover, check out Community Pizzeria– where you’ll get pizzas cooked from scratch and in a wood-fired pizza oven- or Mom’s Grilled Cheese Truck!
For the best fish tacos this side of the border, head over to Tacofino and then top it off with some banana churros or diablo cookies.
Momo Sushi
For cheap eats that you can enjoy sitting down, try Momo Sushi in Gastown. The food isn’t the most gourmet in Vancouver, but it’s a great place to sample nigiri and rolls at a low price point.
They serve everything from takoyaki and avocado rolls to bento boxes and chirashi—and most dishes are under $10. The place tends to be fairly busy during rush hour at noon, so grab a seat just before or after!
