The boat ride over is so nice. The market is incredible. If I lived in Vancouver I would probably want to go there every weekend and buy my food for the week. The most beautiful fruits and veggies I've ever seen. The meat markets looked amazing. I wish I would have not eaten breakfast so I could have been really... More 

Plenty to do, see and purchase at the public market. Numerous artisans who sell a variety of goods, foods (both produce and ready to eat items). Note: If you are there aafter the market closes, there are not too many places to visit - i.e. after hours except the wide variety of restaurants - both seafood, American and Asian.

Spent 3.5 days in Vancouver and took a quick can ride to check out Granville Island. The market is fantastic! Filled to the brim with fresh produce and baked goods. It's a good idea to visit on an empty stomach. You'll find ways to fill up pretty quickly on savoury and sweet treats. I wish I had stayed to eat... More 

The public market was amazing. Spoilt for choice in terms of food. Nice open air area to enjoy lunch. Very easily accessible.

We were brought here as part of our city tour and left here as what was to be a part of the attraction of the city . we felt the amount of time spent here was of little value and a total waste of time but others may find the market and the nick nacks intresting

We recommend the public market area. We walked around inside, purchase some delicious fruit and cheese, then ate it outside on cafe tables, while enjoying music from local musicians, serenading the crowds. There's also a microbrewery, which we didn't visit, and a plethora of kichy shops. Quite enjoyable!

This is an interesting neighborhood to visit. We found it best accessible by bus using a DayPass. Full of food stalls with many interesting options for a quick bite. Unique shops allow for laid-back window shopping. Overally, Granville Island might be a little too hyped, but certainly not a waste of time if you can manage a visit.

You can either walk, drive or get a water taxi over to Granville Island. There are lots of small shops on the island plus a brewery where you can relax and enjoy a beer. There is a huge food market where you can buy almost anything. Outside they are always buskers playing so you can sit and listen to them,... More 

What a lovely surpise. There were warehouses full of everything. Some sold amazing fruit and vegetables. Others sold jewellery or clothes. Even saw fudge being made the old fashioned way and tasted it. Delightful and had to buy some to take home. Lovely lady picked and packed 3 pieces and did't pick the largest pieces. Got all 3 pieces roughly... More
