  • Several Designer shops in Robson Street, too many to remember. Ladies Particularly, but mens and sportswear on every corner

    Sports wear - such a collection
    Ladies wear especially the designer shops
    Shoes to die for, handbags too

    Average for Canada
    Cheap for England

    Not really a shp so much as a street. On weekendsRobson street is easily the biggest avenue in all of Vancouver. Alot of interesting stores along here wig shops, many clothing outlets (aritzia, roots, gap, banana republic etc.), sushi restaurants, a creperie, ice cream stores, Lush, the uber popular Virgin megastore and oh ya and starbucks, boy are there starbucks. It is quite a site to see one giant Starbucks directly kiddie korner to another giant starbucks! And two blocks down the street is another starbucks!!! Apparently the starbucks pictured here is the most profitable one in the World! It is kind of riduclous how trendy downtwon has become actually!

    Along here clothes and a frappucino seems to be the standard. But why not stop in and buy some fridge magnets (there's a whole store dedicated to them) or a wig!

    Trendiest places - expensive ($80 canadian and up) and down the line from there (average at roots might be $40?). I can tell you that a grande caramel frappucino will run you 410 plus tax, what a deal...

    If you are in Vancouver you shouldn't miss the famous shopping street "Robson Street". Even if you don't plan on buying anything it's an interesting street to walk along and do some window shopping.

    Robson Street is Vancouver's most famous shopping street and not without reason. In a three block stretch, between Hornby and Bute Street, you'll find dozens of shoe stores, clothing stores, restaurants, gift shops, lingerie shops, hair salons, candy stores, along with the usual tourist places: souvenir shops, currency exchanges, cheap eats and luggage stores.

    Some big international name brands are here: Ferragamo, Armani, Club Monaco, Guess, BeBe, Zara, Laura Ashley, Banana Republic, Swatch, Nike, Levi's, Body Shop, Gap, Starbucks,

    There is a little of everything on Robson Street, from great fashion boutiqes and restaurants to t-shirt shops and cafes. The stores are all unique unto themselves and if you can't find anything that you want to buy, watching the fashionistas stroll past is almost as much fun as a new pair of Franco Sarto sandals (almost).

  • It is an enormous record store located in Robson St. It used to be Virgin Store but now it's HMV. I liked its NY style decoration.

    local music, specially Sarah Maclachlan's cd's. She's awesome!

  • ROOTS is hands down one of my favourite stores in Canada! They have clothing for both men and women, and also children. They are very "Canadian"

    Note: They have a few different locations.

  • Robson Street is the main shopping street in Vancouver. Fashion stores such as Guess, Armani, Frech Connection, Hilfiger, Holt Renfrew, American Eagle, Roots, etc. line this street for blocks. In addition to the fashion stores, there are other stores for pretty much anything you want, as well as a number of restaurants, cafés, and on one corner, two different Starbucks.

    Check out the HMV Megastore on the corner of Robson and Burrard. Vancouver has some of the cheapest prices in the world for CDs and DVDs, and this place has a huge selection.

    Depends on where you shop

  • They call it "The street that makes the city!" This vibrant shopping and dining district has been attracting thousands of people to the heart of Vancouver for more than 100 years. The eclectic mix of chic boutiques, high-end retailers, unusual and artistic goods, hip cafes and casual to exquisite dining draws a large diverse group of individuals to one of the city's famous hot spots. (Back when the European flavor was denser, the street was called 'Robsonstrasse'.)
