Sightseeing

Granville Island is undoubtedly a must see while in Vancouver. The public market offers a variety options for food and they're all delicious! There are amazing restaurants as well. There is a kids market with games for the kids to enjoy and the island is filled with lots of cute shops. Not to mention, there are lots of shops representing beautiful Vancouver's native origins. From the Island you can walk along the sea wall to False Creek and the Olympic Village. You can also take the Seabus to several locations in downtown/yale town and the Olympic Village.
