Downtown New Westminster Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Scenic Cityscape View with River and Skyscrapers. Vancouver, BC, Canada.
New Westminster, BC uptown
Photo shot taken next to an art installation ‘W’ in New Westminster, BC. If you visit ‘W’ right after rain stops, there are many water puddles that reflect sun lights beautifully - you will like it as much as I do.
New Westminster. SkyTrain bridge. Fraser River.
Right outside New West's skytrain station is the Spud Shack - a great place to try a Canadian favourite, poutine, paired with local craft beers and a cool vibe. I just had "the Traditional" - fries topped with gravy and cheese curds - but they have many different options! #foodporn #canada
