With downtown Vancouver to one side, and the beautiful Stanley Park to the other, the Downtown West End is one of Vancouver’s jewels. Easily one of Vancouver’s most gay-friendly areas, the West End is a truly livable area where you can easily walk to shops and restaurants, and you’re super close to parks and beaches.
