In the summer, Vancouver's beach water is warm and you can actually get in it as the rest of the year it tends to lean on the chilly side. More attractions stay open longer in the summer as the city is jam-packed with tourists at the time. If you are a hiker, the trails are dry because the sun is usually shining down on this lovely city.

You will love Vancouver in the fall as the leaves glow with their bright autumn colors in Stanley Park and you see the Salmon run through the rivers. When fall begins in Vancouver, you are presented with museums, NHL hockey, the opera and the theatre launch, as well as the opportunity to try cuisines from all over the world. The weather remains wonderful and a Vancouver fall can even be drier and lighter than the summer at times. It is also a good time to visit because the airfares drop from their summertime highs.
