Nanaimo is a small Western community, which showcases natural beauty wherever you look, and recreation potential. Nanaimo has one of the longest shorelines in Canada, and a forested mountain backdrop just minutes outside of downtown Nanaimo As the second largest city on Vancouver Island, Nanaimo promises a lively and unique urban experience. Downtown along Commercial Street, Victoria Crescent, and Fitzwilliam Street is a thriving mix of restaurants, music venues, shops, galleries, and exciting nightspots.
Nanaimo is also home to Woodgrove Centre, the largest shopping centre on Vancouver Island. There are also several other attractive retail shopping centres throughout the city. What's special about Nanaimo is that it has it all, in a surprisingly affordable package. From hotel room rates to restaurant menus, experiences are generally less expensive and more accessible here than in Vancouver and Victoria. |
