Granville Island Public Market
Home to Vancouver's indoor market food stalls, creative galleries, microbreweries, independent artistic shops and studios, as well as restaurants, bars, a playhouse, and several outdoor shops (kayak/boat rentals, diving schools), Granville Island is a Vancouver must do. Pick up lunch in the market, and sit on the steps by the water and watch the world go by. The highlight here is taking the aquabus; it doesn't matter where you're going, just get onboard and take in the sights, as this truly is a unique Vancouver gem loved by locals and tourists alike. If you have any wee ones to buy presents for, Kids Only is a great area that has everything from XXL gumballs to clothes.
