Robson runs from the West at Denman Street where you
will find the entrance to Stanley Park
and 18 blocks to the east to the entrance to
BC Place Stadium
and Rogers Arena . A safe and
great stroll anytime of the day or night.
Check out the Aqua Bus
Ferries a fleet of boats that carry passengers from
Vancouver to
Granville Island and from Granville Island
to Yaletown, the Granville Island Market is just down the street from the
drop-off point. If you are staying at a
Downtown Vancouver Hotels it is the
perfect transport to see a few of the Cities most popular
Attractions.
Yaletown - we found this area to be
the most suited to our tastes (older 20-somethings to younger to mid
30-somethings). Upscale restaurants, great bars, good scenery and people
watching.
Comedy Mix Comedy
Club - went on a Saturday night. This is located at a
Century Plaza
Hotel downtown . I found it very funny and enjoyed the
"different' humor.
Make a reservation in advance if you want to visit.
Granville
Island - The shops are cute to visit
- we didn't eat at the market since it was so crowded to walk
through. Instead we went to Go Fish, this little stand that was
recommended to us. The BEST fish and chips we had out there. Highly recommended.
Stanley Park -
we rented bicycles and rode the seawall. I don't ride often so I
was a bit nervous, but it was easy riding and gorgeous scenery. Also, if you rent
a bike, make sure to shop around. We found a place that was
cheaper than some others, but didn't offer flat tire service in
case you get a flat while you're out in the park. We took the
risk and everything was fine so we ended up saving some money.
Granville Street
Entertainment District - many bars and clubs on this
street that are hot on Friday/Saturdays, but we're not much into
the clubbing scene so we decided to walk around the street to
check out what goes on there. Interesting to
walk through, but Yaletown felt less wild and crazy to us.
I'm sure the club scene is a
lot of fun, but it was definitely wild :-) Was fun to check out
though!
Aside from that, we spent a lot of time at the English Bay beach
and some of the parks in the area. I highly recommend laying on
a blanket and just relaxing out there, or bringing picnic food
and staying to watch the sunset. Just beautiful.
