Kitsilano, also known as "Kits," is a beautiful neighbourhood in Vancouver that boasts sandy beaches, plenty of shopping of an array of international eateries. This coveted area, just 10 minutes from Downtown Vancouver, is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of Downtown and chill out for a day.
Kitsilano is bordered by two amazing beaches: Kitsilano Beach and Jericho Beach. Kitsilano Beach is a great place to go for a walk or run in the autumn. The views of the Vancouver cityscape from this beach are simply breathtaking. In the summer, this beach is often packed with sun-lovers and beach volleyball players. There's also a restaurant on the beach, the Boathouse, which also affords beautiful views from its patio.

There are plenty of other restaurants in the Kits area that are worth checking out. Some of my favourites include Hapa Izakaya, an innovative Japanese tapas-style restaurant, Las Margaritas, an awesome Mexican restaurant, and Trattoria Italian Kitchen, a superb Italian restaurant with great pasta deals.
If you love shopping, definitely take a stroll along West 4th Avenue. Ski and snowboard lovers will find plenty of shops to indulge in, like Westbeach, Pacific Boarder and The Boardroom. Yoga lovers and those who just love to sweat should check out the flagship Lululemon store for some trendy and practical workout clothing. Indie music lovers should head to Zulu Records to trawl through the collection of vinyl records.
Whether you're a local or visitor in Vancouver, Kitsilano is definitely a neighbourhood you should take some time to get lost in. The urban yet relaxed vibe of Kits is what keeps me coming back to this hip Vancouver neighbourhood.
