Visiting Canada’s west coast has always been on my travel list, and I’m finally going to be able to check it off. I’m so excited to be visiting Vancouver next weekend thanks to #BigWorldExplorer and Expedia.ca for a Last Minute Weekend Vancouver Getaway.

While my kids have hockey games, and my husband is going on a hockey tournament, I decided I would whisk my mom away for a mother-daughter getaway. I’m planning our weekend trip on Expedia.ca through their easy-to-use website and app. You can easily search for flights, hotels and cars in one swift search, and find the best deals on hotel rooms, flights and rental cars.

Where to Stay in Vancouver

There are too many choices for hotels in Vancouver! The first few searches popped out some amazing choices, such as the Fairmont, Four Seasons, and the Sutton Place Hotel.

The search results are easy to read, with the hotel star rating visible, and prices and deals on the right side. The searches show the full price per person with the flight included, and whether it is non-stop.

Booking a flight separately would be much too expensive! But booking flight and hotel together on Expedia.ca and the price is significantly lower.

The options are also abundant, with various departure times and non-stop flights – I was able to easily choose. The trip prices shown are per person and include Flight + Hotel, taxes and fees, which is helpful when it comes time to book as there are no surprise costs.

We’ll be able to make the most of our weekend by flying out first thing Friday morning, and returning late on Sunday evening.

After some searching and pricing, I “settled” on the Four Seasons.

I’ve also booked a 48-hour hop-on hop-off trolley tour so that we can easily tour the city, without having to walk it all (my mom can’t do long distances).

On my must-see list so far – Stanley Park, Lions Gate Bridge, Gastown, Railtown, Little Italy, Granville Island Public Market and if we’re able, Capilano Bridge. My mom is an avid gardener, so we’ll have to drop by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.
