Best of Prince Rupert, City Highlights & Museum

Prince Rupert’s Must-See Sights: Learn about the history, heritage, and culture of the city as you travel with a knowledgeable guide. The city's highlights are a reminder of the many peoples and cultures who founded Prince Rupert, including adventurers and entrepreneurs. From the British gentleman who founded a dairy at Cow Bay to the Chinese gold miner who started Prince Rupert's longest-running grocery, and from the many shop owners who set up their first businesses in tents to the people who invested in the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and its fleet of ships. The stories are as varied as they are interesting. You'll stop at a scenic viewpoint and look out over Prince Rupert's harbor and Metlakatla Pass.
