Downtown - Granville Street

It’s very close to many of the downtown Vancouver hotels as well as the cruise ship terminal at Canada Place, making it a convenient area to shop if you’re limited on time. The Waterfront Centre Shops offer a great mix of fashion, plus services like a post office, drug store, ATMs, newsstands and souvenirs, making it the perfect destination for one-stop shopping.

Undoubtedly, the biggest shopping draw on Granville Street is the Pacific Centre mall, anchored by three department stores including Canada’s high-end Holt Renfrew, and the upscale Nordstrom from the U.S. The mall runs three city blocks, much of it underground, and specializes in fashion brands. Outside the mall, you’ll find other retail shopping as you head south along Granville, mainly clustered from Georgia to Smithe.
