Here are 10 things to do in Vancouver this weekend.
Treat yourself to brunch
There are few things that say spring as much as a patio brunch. Even if you can’t meet up with your there, we still think that Vancouver’s brunch spots (and their patios) are just waiting for you to come soak up the sun and eat some delicious food.

Check out some public art
The newest public art piece in Vancouver is a multimedia installation that’s part of the Vancouver Art Gallery. It’s hard to sum up, but think of it as a collaborative event to try and map, in a few different ways, the social changes and events that have shaped our city over the years.
When: Opens April 9th
Where: 1100 W Georgia Street
Try a new cafe and bar
And while you’re downtown, why not try out the city’s newest all-day spot? Maxine’s is the newest sibling restaurant to the Homer Street Cafe and Tableau Bar Bistro, so we’re expecting nothing short of excellence here. And, we know that we’re going to get it!
When: Open daily, 8AM-3PM
Where: 1325 Burrard Street
See some local sights
It’s really, truly hard to beat how beautiful Vancouver is in the spring. If you’re looking to take it all in, then we’ve got a list of places around the city that offer the most idyllic views. Yeah, we’re going there, Vancouver is just that pretty right now, and especially when the sun is out.
