SHOPPING For a taste of local life, Granville Island Public Market is a vibrant indoor market featuring a fascinating assortment of colourful food and produce. You'll also find local crafts and clothing stalls next to toys and baked goods – there really is something for everyone! This eclectic market is open daily and the surrounding precinct is home to independent studios, galleries and theatres. For more shopping options, stroll along Robson Street or explore the boutiques of Yaletown and Gastown, where heritage architecture frames stylish stores featuring Canadian designers, outdoor wear and indigenous art. GASTRONOMY Gastown, the city's oldest neighbourhood, is a culinary hub where restored Victorian buildings house award-winning restaurants, cocktail bars and cafés. It is best known for the historic Steam Clock, whose hourly whistle adds to the area's charm. Across the city, menus highlight Pacific seafood, seasonal produce and global flavours, from refined West Coast cuisine to Asian- inspired dishes reflecting the city's diverse heritage. Whether enjoying a casual waterfront lunch or an elegant evening meal, Vancouver offers a dining experience that is both relaxed and sophisticated.
