Canada’s westernmost province is home to some of the last wild, untouched landscapes on the continent. It’s difficult not to feel inspired by British Columbia’s jagged mountains, icy fjords, abundant wildlife, and stunning coastlines. Each of its towns exudes a unique character, and the natural scenery for which the province is famous is almost never far away. Here are some of British Columbia’s most beautiful towns.

Its leafy streets are lined with attractive wooden and brick houses, many of which are designated heritage buildings.
