Welcome to the Duncan Sightseeing Home Page.

The Duncan Sightseeing website is intended for independent travellers (and locals) who want to explore the City of Duncan, British Columbia and the surrounding area on their own, without having to rely on organized tours.

You can use this website to explore Duncan with your tablet, smart phone or other devices.

Here are some of the things this site offers:

Downtown Duncan

Duncan’s historic downtown is quite small – approximately four square blocks – and can be easily explored on foot.

To assist you in finding you way around downtown Duncan and exploring it on your own, we have included pages on each of downtown Duncan‘s main streets – Canada Avenue, Craig Street, Duncan Street, Ingram Street, Jubilee Street, Kenneth Street and Station Street – to help you find the main points of interest and answer most questions you may have.

Among other features, we have included pages with self-guided tours of downtown Duncan streets, historic buildings in downtown Duncan, a walking tour of downtown Duncan totem poles, shopping and various services which visitors may find useful.
