All About the Harbour City

Walking in Downtown Nanaimo

Nanaimo's downtown is very, very small in comparison with Vancouver or even Victoria. However, it's a great deal more interesting than the 1950's suburban sprawls south and east of Vancouver proper. A lot of our buildings are remarkably old by BC standards, and nobody seems to care that dilapidated coal-miner shanties are leaning out over the sidewalks.

This page is still in development. I'm hoping to have a map with points of interest. Please feel free to send us ideas!
