It’s one of the country’s most diverse urban landscapes, with fascinating culture and an incredible culinary landscape. You’ll also find the scenery breathtaking, with dramatic mountain scenery surrounding this fascinating city.
You’ll have no trouble spotting snow-dusted peaks from the city’s skyscrapers, and find yourself among this wonderful wilderness in under an hour from the city centre. If you want to hit the slopes, you’ll never be too far from a resort. Or, heading in the other direction, you can soak up the sunshine on one of Vancouver’s beaches.

This city is also packed with cultural delights, including art exhibits, museums, and significant historic sites you can visit while here. But, when is the best time to visit Vancouver? Well, that depends on where you’re going after arriving.
Best time for cruises from Vancouver
The best time for cruises from Vancouver heading north to Alaska is during the spring; this is when the weather is warmer, and you’ll have the chance to see the region bloom before the summer sets in. This is also the best time of year for whale-watching experiences, which you may want to explore during your adventure.
Meanwhile, those set on heading southwards along America’s West Coast may wish to travel during the summer, to make the most of the stunning beaches found in the region. However, tourist hotspots will be busiest during these months, so travelling during the spring and autumn is also an excellent option.
