My TripAdvisor Review No.487: The Prince Rupert Visitor Centre, Canada.

First Port Of Call In This Port City.


If you are a visitor or tourist to the port city of Prince Rupert then you must go to the Visitor Centre to get some guidance and information about the place. The office is located on the ground floor of the Atlin Terminal building in the Cow Bay district of Prince Rupert which is very close to where the cruise ships to Alaska dock.

You can collect a lot of free literature and information leaflets about the sight seeing places in and around Prince Rupert. There is also a large tear off map which gives you the layout of the city and where the attractions, hotels and restaurants are located. There is also a reference folder which gives the details of all the restaurants in Prince Rupert and the type of cuisine they serve, Canadian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indian or just Fast Foods. The staff are friendly and ready to help you with your queries.

There are a lot of displays at the centre which show case the development of the city as a port and a railway terminal. I was surprised to learn that Port Prince Rupert is much closer to many regions of China, Japan and the Far East than Vancouver and is also has better natural harbour. It is one of the prominent ports of Northern British Columbia.

A visit to the Centre is definitely worth your while even if you are a first time visitor.
