About

Ubicada entre Vancouver y el río Fraser, Burnaby combina a la perfección las comodidades urbanas con la belleza natural a través de su extenso sistema de parques y vistas a las montañas. La ciudad alberga Metrotown, uno de los centros comerciales más grandes de Canadá, y el impresionante campus en la cima de la montaña de Simon Fraser University. Los diversos vecindarios de Burnaby ofrecen de todo, desde cocina asiática en Kingsway hasta senderos tranquilos en Central Park.

Burnaby sits in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada, between the city of Vancouver and the Fraser River. It is a place where city life and open land sit close together: busy streets and shopping are never far from wooded parkland and mountain views.

Parks and views

Burnaby's extensive park system is one of its defining features. Trails wind through green space within the city limits, and the mountains that rise to the north give many of its lookouts a dramatic backdrop. For visitors who want a break from urban streets, the parks are the natural place to start.

Shopping and campus life

Metrotown is one of Canada's largest shopping centres and draws visitors looking for retail, dining and a full day under one roof. Set apart on a mountaintop, Simon Fraser University's campus is striking in its own right, with views over the surrounding region that make it a worthwhile stop for anyone curious about the area.

Neighbourhoods

  • Kingsway is known for its Asian cuisine, a good choice for an unhurried meal.

  • Central Park offers peaceful trails and a quieter pace away from the main commercial areas.

Because Burnaby lies next to Vancouver, it works well as a base or as a stop on a wider trip around the region. Its mix of neighbourhoods, shopping and nature makes it suited to visitors who want variety in a single visit.
