For visitors today, Prince George is the fourth largest city in British Columbia, and grants entrance to the great North by Northwest. For the urbanites, there are all the cafés, art galleries, boutiques and museums that a modern city has.

For those who get their thrills under the open sky, Prince George is a nirvana. Several parks and hiking trails are close by, as are 18-hole golf courses, and a salmon camp. Numerous lakes and rivers beckon you and your rod or canoe, boat or backpack.

Over a dozen flights daily to and from the city make connections with all major regional, national and international centers trouble-free. Regularly scheduled flights to smaller towns in the north leave Prince George daily.

Prince George is the first stop on VIA Rail's spectacular Skeena route that takes visitors from Prince Rupert on the west coast through the middle of British Columbia’s backyard to Jasper in the Canadian Rockies, with connections to VIA's national network of routes.
