Best Time to Visit Vancouver

Vancouver is a delight all year-round but the best time to visit the city is more often in summer (April through October) due to its warmer and dry weather. However, it also brings maximum tourists with higher prices, so make reservations in advance around four weeks before. If you're a winter sports fanatic, then don't let the biting temperatures daunt you, the city makes a great home base for skiers and snowboarders looking to challenge the snow at Grouse Mountain or nearby Whistler. For the tourists who are looking for a budgeted trip or lesser crowd around, the next best time to visit would be in one of the shoulder seasons (travel period between the peak and off-peak seasons). In Vancouver, these are in late spring during April and May and during the fall in mid-September and October.
