Kelowna

This walkable city on the shores of Okanagan Lake in southern British Columbia, Kelowna sits at the heart of BC's wine country and draws visitors with a lively café and restaurant scene in the centre. The lake is the main summer draw, and the surrounding Okanagan Valley adds mountain backdrops that make the city a strong destination for photography. Heritage buildings are scattered through the walkable core, and the wider region includes Summerland and Penticton to the south and Vernon to the north.
