As with most major cities, Vancouver has a number of both magazines and newspapers which are focused on Vancouver life and which visitors to the city may find useful.

Magazines

Where Vancouver

Where Vancouver is a nice glossy magazine, primarily aimed at tourists and as such it is distributed free to hotels around the city.

Where gives visitors information on places to eat, shopping, entertainment, attractions and more and usually has a number of features as well as listings pages which can come in very handy if you’re looking for places to go, events information etc.

If you can’t see a copy of Where in your hotel room or in the lobby area, ask at the reception desk. Alternatively, you can view the Where website.

City Food

City Food is another free magazine. As the name suggests, this one concentrates on cuisine, and looks at regional foods, restaurants, drinks and more. This is available online at City Food Website plus in restaurants and bookstores.

Vancouver Magazine
