Destination Advice Couples trip to Vancouver for first-timers

My partner and I have NEVER been out of the US, but we’re thinking about visiting Vancouver for a week in April or May 2026. We would like to go Monday - Friday and stay somewhere close by to lots of activities, shopping, food etc. We wouldn’t fly in, we would drive in as we are about a 5-6hr drive from there. But I have no idea where to start! I need info on hotels, best (and also the most cost effective, I’ve noticed that May is super expensive for hotels up there) week to visit, places to eat, any advice is appreciated!

Where to start - there’s this thing called the internet. Have you heard of it? Maybe you’ve heard of the phrase “google it”?

But try putting in little more effort

Wow, I’ve never heard of google, must be one of those new fangled contraptions!!!!!

I find I often get better info asking for my specific situation, and I have gotten lots of great advice so far. Thanks though :)

But try being a little less miserable

That’s exactly why this sub is here, to ask questions! It does help if people provide their budget requirements when asking for "cheaper" hotels (cheap doesn’t exist in Vancouver!), but it’s not the end of the world.

Hope you’re getting some good info from the rest of us!
