About Vancouver, BC Shopping
Small boutiques with one-of-a-kind items, big department stores, local artisans and high-end haute couture are what make up Vancouver’s diverse shopping experience.

If the sun is out and you’re craving some fresh air to accompany your purchases, Kitsilano, South Granville, Yaletown, Gastown and Commercial Drive will suit you just fine. Are you a vintage aficionado? If so, Main Street will have your back and won’t leave you empty-handed. Looking for that edible goody to bring back home for your foodie friend? Granville Island will knock your socks off and leave a trail of drool back to your hotel.
