How to get to North Vancouver

Vancouver International Airport is just 15 miles from North Vancouver. Jumping into a cab to make the 30-minute journey might be tempting, but the British Columbia Rapid Transit Company from the Airport Station to Waterfront Station on the Canada Line is an inexpensive and speedy alternative. The journey takes just 25 minutes and it’s a direct route from the airport, with trains departing every 10 minutes. North Vancouver isn’t very easy to navigate using public transportation, so hiring a car from one of the airport rental firms may be a better solution for travelers wanting easy access to the key sites of the neighborhood.
