Granville Island
Known for its public markets, fresh bakeries and unique stores, you can spend an entire day exploring all that this area has to offer. After checking out all the wonderful foods and fares of the market, navigate your way through the narrow roads and lanes of Granville Island, stopping to go through book stores, art exhibits, the Kids Only centre and head to the walking paths along the water.Going East, you can walk the beautiful False Creek Walk, continue to Science World , or even further to Yaletown.
Heading West you pass the marinas of Granville Island, more enviable waterfront condominiums with views across False Creek to Downtown Vancouver, and eventually cross under the Burrard Bridge. Continuing along the water and following the pathways eventually leads you to Vanier Park, which is where the summer Bard on the Beach Shakespeare festival and Children's Festival are held each year.
The Vancouver Museum and H.R. MacMillan Space Centre are also located in this area, so if your feet need a rest, stop in at these attractions.
