Why go
Burnaby Mountain rises above the surrounding peninsula, while Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake offer lower green spaces. Metropolis at Metrotown supplies a contrasting indoor destination. The city developed along routes between Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, and that east–west position still makes it useful when combining urban and outdoor stops in Metro Vancouver.
What to look for
- Burnaby Mountain provides high ground above the city.
- Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake mark its greener side.
- Metropolis at Metrotown is a major shopping destination.
Useful to know
- Pair one lake or park with a separate Metrotown stop if time allows.
- Allow for hills when walking around Burnaby Mountain.
