Downtown Vancouver Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Downtown Vancouver which includes a city, a fountain and outdoor art
As the beating heart of one of the most liveable cities in the world, great things happen in Downtown Vancouver. All day and every day…

Art, entertainment, sport and retail all come right down to business in Downtown Vancouver. Robson Street, a shopper’s paradise, takes the dayshift, while Granville Street volunteers for the nightshift with its fun theatres, bars and clubs. The BC Place Stadium and the Vancouver Art Gallery have you covered on weekends. Among Downtown’s skyscrapers of shining steel and glass are the cobblestoned streets of Gastown, the place where it all began.
