City advice
Getting around
Go for a stroll!
Being right downtown, the easiest way to sightsee is to go for a walk! There is also many bus routes and taxi options if you’re looking to head outside of the city centre.
Don't miss
The Saturday outdoor farmers market!
You’re only one bus ride, or a cab ride for around $10, away from supporting some great, local, small businesses! From baked goods to hot meals, clothing to jewelry, veggies to florals, it’s a great sight to see!
Book before you go
Wine Tours
There is no shortage of companies to choose from if you’re looking to see the sights and taste the Okanagan! It’s helpful to book your tour in advance to make sure you don’t miss out!!
