It is always combination of gorgeous weather and lovely atmosphere that creates high scores for the place. Granville Island market, art studios, cafes, sailboats, restaurants with perfect view and affordable menus….and views at the Vancouver skyline. Take your time and enjoy it.

Granville Island is a great place to walk around, do some shopping, eat some tasty food, enjoy spectacular views and have a fantastic time. We visited for one day, and so did a few thousand other people as well! A very popular destination. We got on the aquabus from Downtown Vancouver and the lovely trip took just a few minutes.

Massive market offering most anything one can imagine. From jewelry to clothes to leather goods to farm fresh fruits and veggies. Coffee, candy, and restaurants galore are all available. And it's all inside!

We went down as we were whale watching from there but spent all the time around it exploring Granville Island. It's a great little spot for independent shops, random food stalls and just a great artsy vibe. I think there is something for everyone. Lots to mooch around.

I love Granville island ! I never get tired and every time I visit Vancouver I have to come here . There is little market with the best freshly baked buns , fresh fish , fantastic coffee , fresh flowers and little boutiques . You can sit and watch boats going by . Outside is dog friendly but not inside market .

Brilliant here. Relatively small, full of quirky shops and a huge food hall/market. Well worth an afternoon wandering around. Great views of the city. Taxi there and back or you can take the water taxi across

Took the boat along to Granville Island. What a great place! Lovely market with great places to eat and watch the world go by. Wonderful selection of shops, great pub, and a lovely feel overall. I could spend lots more time here!

Probably one of the most visited parts of Vancouver but the market is exceptional even for a look if not buying. However stay a while a have coffees and lunch here with a lively and/or relaxing atmosphere depending where you go. The rest of the island is worth a look with so many art and craft shops. The water bus is a fun way to get across from Hornby Street.

Joined the Granville Island Market Food Tour and had a wonderful time. We had a very nice tour guide who answered all of our questions. We wondered it there would be enough food for a meal but surprisingly, we were very full to the point that we could not have eaten one more bite. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the stories. Both my daughter and I would recommend this activity to others. Parking in the morning was ample however by noon it was sparse.

Definitely worth a visit. There was a large variety of products for sale at the market. There was seating available, indoors and outside, to eat or have a coffee. We had the best coffee at JJ Bean. It was interesting to explore the entire area, not just the public market.
