This BC small town with charming streets ranked as one of Canada's 'top travel destinations'
Right outside of Vancouver sits this charming small town, brimming with local shops, cute cafes, and vibes that are typically reserved for Hallmark movies.
It's relatively underrated, but it has recently gained some attention after being ranked among Canada's top travel destinations. People are taking notice of the adorable small town in B.C., so you might want to book your trip there A.S.A.P.
Airbnb released a new report, breaking down domestic travel trends in Canada — highlighting how Canadian bookings continue to rise. Small towns around the country have been getting some attention, and apparently, the "domestic travel boom showed no signs of slowing down."
The report also outlined some of the "top trending destinations" where Canadian travellers are heading.
B.C. got some serious representation, with four spots on the list of eight. Among them was Langley, which is technically a city right outside of Vancouver but has access to all the small-town vibes you could want. It's nestled in the beautiful Fraser Valley, where wineries roll through the landscape and farms sprawl.
Fort Langley is within the Township of Langley, right next to the city and is where you'll want to go for all the cozy fall vibes. It's a village just outside of the city, filled with museums, restaurants, shops and galleries.
It doesn't just look like the set of a Hallmark flick — it is one. The legendary yellow Community Hall here can be seen in many shows and movies.
Walking down the streets of this town, you can pop into spots like Wendel's Bookstore & Cafe and Sabà Cafe for some fuel and cute vibes. There are cool boutiques, eclectic shops, and even a farmers' market to explore, too.
The Fort Langley Village Farmers' Market runs on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. until December 6, and it makes for the most wholesome fall weekend activity.
You can also visit the Fort Langley National Historic Site, if you feel like stepping back in time.
After soaking in the small town atmosphere, you can venture out to the scenic surroundings of Langley Township. Krause Berry Farms & Winery is a beautiful farm with U-Pick, so you can get your fill of berries.
Aldor Acres is another farm here with farm tours and baby animals to see, or head to Kensington Prairie Farm to see some adorable alpacas.
You can also tour around the vineyards here, stopping in at one of the eight wineries for a sip. Backyard Vineyards and Chaberton Estate Winery & Bacchus Bistro are both go-to stops here.
If you want to keep the beauty going, you can go for a stroll in one of the stunning parks around here. Aldergrove Regional Park has open meadows perfect for picnics and lots of trails.
It's not hard to plan a perfect fall day in Langley.
