About this place
Burnaby is a sizable suburb situated directly east of Vancouver, with a history rooted in agriculture and a later role as a vital transportation corridor. Its development was shaped by its position between Vancouver and New Westminster, and today it functions as a well-connected urban centre with its own shopping, dining, and educational hubs. The city is efficiently linked to the rest of Metro Vancouver by major roadways and the SkyTrain rapid-transit network, making it a practical base or a convenient day trip from downtown Vancouver.

Planning Tips
- Get a Compass Card — For SkyTrain and bus travel, a reloadable Compass Card offers discounted fares and is more convenient than single tickets. Contactless credit cards and mobile wallets are also accepted, and children 12 and under ride free.
- Understand transit zones — Fare zones apply on weekdays before 6:30 PM for SkyTrain and SeaBus trips. Travel within Burnaby itself is typically a one-zone fare, but going to downtown Vancouver adds an extra zone.
- Be prepared for rain — November through March sees a dramatic shift to cool, rainy weather. Packing waterproof layers is essential if visiting outside the summer window.
