Getting to Vancouver
Most flights from São Paulo (GRU) or Rio (GIG) to Vancouver (YVR) connect through the US or Panama — total journey 12–16 hours. Book early; prices spike 6 months out.
Entry requirement: eTA required. Apply at canada.ca/en/immigration well before your trip.
Staying connected
Skip roaming — it costs R$80–150/day in Canada. An eSIM gives you full 5G from the moment you land at YVR for a fraction of that cost.

Getting around
BC Place is steps from Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain station. Buy a Compass Card (eTA required deposit) at any station — day passes are brazil1.25 CAD. On match days the SkyTrain is always faster than Uber, which surges heavily around kick-off.
💡 Last SkyTrain runs ~1:15am weekdays, ~2:15am weekends. Plan accordingly to avoid the post-match surge.
Money & tipping
Vancouver is an expensive city. Budget 🇧🇷5–35 CAD for lunch, eTA required0–100 for dinner. Prices are shown before 12% tax. Tipping 15–20% is mandatory at sit-down restaurants — card machines prompt you automatically.
Fan community in Vancouver
Vancouver has a large and vibrant Brazilian community. The Commercial Drive neighbourhood (known as The Drive) has Latin American culture, cafés, and lively bars perfect for match days.
Weather in June–July
Expect 20–26°C during the day, cooler evenings around 14°C. Pack a light waterproof jacket — rain is possible. BC Place has a retractable roof so all matches run regardless of weather.
💡 Sunscreen is still important in Vancouver summers — the UV index is higher than it looks on overcast days.
