Watch out for

• Choose the exact part of Burnaby carefully: Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, and Edmonds are busy town centres, while North Burnaby and South Slope are more residential.
• SkyTrain corridors are the most convenient but also the noisiest and busiest.
• Burnaby is generally suburban, so car-free trips are easiest near the town centres.
• Nightlife is limited compared with Vancouver proper, so late evenings are usually calmer than central-city districts.
