The Public Market and surrounding "arty" shops were a wonderful way to spend a drizzly morning/lunch. You can take the ferry over from southwest downtown, or it's a $10 cab ride over the bridge. Start at the Public Market with all the fresh fish, veggies, fruits, and tons of craftspeople and baked goods - I found a man who carves... More

If you like to people watch, look at crafts, stroll around, oh, and eat something delicious, this should be your first stop in Vancouver. First, don't just go to Granville Island to buy some veggies, you need to walk around all the other buildings. If its summer time and you have kids, walk towards the East, near the boat house...

Not all that it's cracked up to be. While there are many lovely shops and vendors, the wares aren't as diverse as one would expect. How many bead shops does one market really need?

This was part of our free half day city tour. Stanley Park was supposed to be the highlight of the tour but we felt this was the real highlight. It would have been even better if we were given more time to have lunch there. More

The Granville Public Market was amazing. It was wall to wall meat, restaurants, produce, and shops. I was drooling at almost every turn as I passed all of the different delicacies. There were also several different craft kiosks. I was so jealous that I could not buy a lot of the different food items as I would never have gotten... More

Granville Island Public Market is just fantastic - wonderful produce, meat & cheese - plus you have to take a ferry to get there! Liveley, craft shops, buskers, boats ... More

Went to Granville Market and was overwhelmed with the choices between sweets to meats. Soups are fantastic and Indian Candy (smoked salmon) is to die for. Pastry displays compare to Brugge and Brussels. More
