    Robson Street: CD or DVD shopping
    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!

    Robson Street is a shopping paradise, full of every kind of stores, bars, cafes and restaurants you can imagine, from the most expensive to the average price stores. It crosses all downtown and its lights at night offers a great view. Walking along this street was one of my favorite things to do while visiting Vancouver.

    Whatever you want

    as much as you want

    Vancouver's most popular shopping area is Robson Street downtown, between the Art Gallery (Granville St) and Denman st. Most concentrated in the blocks immediately on either side of Burrard St, there is all sorts of clothing, shoes, jewellery, art, crepes, cappuccino, cheesecake, tourist memorabilia, books, CDs (I almost said records - oops!), and anything else.

    At the extreme East end of Robson is the spectacular colliseum-like vancouver public library, also worth a browse to architects or bibliophiles.

    Vancouver is often referred to as Hollywood North, due to the amount of movies filmed here, and over time, I have seen several 'stars' walking downtown, usually around Robson or Granville Island. Anna Paquin (Rogue on X-men), Pamela Anderson, Jean-Claude VanDamme (yah, I know - who? He's actually only about 5'6" and 140 lbs!), Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), Kirstie Alley, that chick from 'Can't buy me love', Famke Janssen (Jean Grey on X-men), David Arquette, and plenty more whose names escape me at the moment.

    Grab a latte at any of the Starbucks (just about every block, sometimes 2 per corner!) and browse or shop to your heart's content.

    Robson Street: Robson Street
    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

    Robson Street: TAKE A WALK DOWN ROBSON STREET
    Robson Street

    The place to see and be seen in Vancouver, energetic Robson Street boasts over 200 shops, cafés and services.

    Spend a day on the strip - spoil yourself in trend-setting fashion boutiques or sip a latté as you relax and people-watch from a sidewalk café. With a weekend average of some 80,000 streetgoers, there are plenty of people to watch!

    If you prefer less jostling among crowds, head to the Vancouver Art Gallery. Housed in a former early-20th-century courthouse, the VAG is a haven for art lovers.

    Finish the day with dinner at one of Robson Street's many fine restaurants.

    Robson Street runs east-west through downtown Vancouver, from Yaletown to the West End.
    There is also, a excellent indoor market I believe and cant remember exactly where it is...

    A word or two on your visit:
    • Parking on Robson Street can be a challenge - there are several parkades located within easy walking distance

    In modern times, as its popularity has soared, the character of Robson Street has continued to evolve. 'Robsonstrasse' has passed into history, but the eclectic mix of shops and restaurants has become even stronger and more appealing.

    Today, one finds along Robson and its side streets fine dining, premier fashion stores and services, and an opportunity to 'people watch' as the world shops the street.

    Robson Street: GRAB A BARGAIN OR MORE
    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'.)

    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,

    Robson Street: Designer shopping in Robson Street
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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
