You could easily spend hours exploring West End, a trendy residential neighborhood packed with chic boutiques and diverse dining options and dotted with Insta-ready art installations, or maybe you’re more interested in beachside Kitsilano, a former hippie hangout with a relaxed atmosphere that attracts laid-back, sun-kissed residents.
