A nice place to stroll through shops, the giant marketplace, and the waterfront. We took the little narrated boat ride from the dock and got a feel for the city and its different areas.

I was in Vancouver on business and my afternoon meeting was cancelled. So. Water taxi to Granville Island for a delicious lunch, with a glass of my fave Okanagan Chardonnay. Walked around the market and the galleries and artisan shops for the rest of the afternoon. Awesome. Happiest afternoon in a long time for me. If you go to Vancouver... More 

Your eyes will be sore from seeing so many interesting and beautiful things! I just Loveee walking around in the market! This is a gem!

You can catch an aquabus or blue tug boat from various locations in Vancouver to Granville Island. This is one of the best markets I have visited.

Should we be fortunate to be back in Vancouver we would make the extra effort to see all that Granville Island has to offer!

We were in town for roller derby playoffs. Hungry ladies for sure. After biking and walking around Stanley Park, Granville's open market was perfect! The choices!! I got wonderful fruit-sweet and delicious, creamy and dreamy aged cheeses, delicate pastries, yummy fudge. Options were endless! I didn't get to go to the other parts but it's at the top of my... More
