 Granville Island Map by jamiesno
For me I remember the relaxing casual atmosphere. The smells of fresh food in the market, the entertaining buskers that bring life to the streets, the pacific ocean small, the birds and artists. Any visit to Vancouver should include Granville Island and for me it included a couple of visits to eat and just enjoy the atmosphere and shops. It's a cool place to hang out.
I also provided a web site with plenty of more detailed information on what you will find on the island.
Be sure to rate my tips and leave your comments I love them all.
When you are on the Island you will see maps like the one in this picture so it is very easy to find your way around. Everything is relatively close so don't worry about getting lost, just enjoy your stay! Leave a Comment

 Loads of fresh fruits and
veggies! by ct-bound
The Island (only about 5 or 6 blocks long on any side) is full of artists studios, where you can shop for their wares, be it jewellery, sculpture, paintings, glasswork, tapestries, or clothing. This is where the best artists in BC display their work, it's also the location of the Emily Carr fine art college.
There are also several small or large playhouses that have changings shows from comedy or drama, to modern dance. Arts Umbrella and the arts club theatre are 2 that come to mind.
My favourite shop is called Dragonspace, and is filled with all sorts of fabulous medieval and faerie-tale based things. Also some great celtic and viking replica jewellery.
The 'market' itself is the public market, crammed full of fresh fish, donuts, perogies, all sorts of fruits and veggies, about 113 different types of meats and cheeses and 50 types of bread!
For the evening, I strongly recommend going to Theatresports. It's improvisational comedy theatre that will have you laughing out loud (generally not for kids).
Keep your eyes peeled. Granville Island is another Vancouver location where the 'hollywood stars' frequent as tourists too! Leave a Comment Address: Under the South End of the Granville Street BridgeDirections: Walk down Granville street from Broadway on the South side of the Granville bridge. From downtown, you can walk over the bridge, or take one of many buses. It's also fun to take the aquabus from downtown (costs a couple of bucks each way).Website: http://www.granvilleisland.com

Granville Island is definately worth checking out. I reccomend taking the aquabus over from any of its stops downtown. Once you're at Granville Island there's lots to do and see. There are many artistic shops to check out for art supplies, hand made hats, jewellery, blown glass, etc.
The Granville Island Public Market is probably one of the best markets in Vancouver. You can buy fresh produce, seafood, etc. There's tons of stands and stalls selling everything and all very fresh.
You can also check out dance, theatre, music, comedy, etc. held at one of the venues on Granville Island. Leave a Comment

Granville Island has all the little shops and sights you need to do in an afternoon. This little area still has its fishing docks, but new developments make it the local version of South Street Seaport.
There's everything you'd like to do on a lazy afternoon. Sure it's touristy, but it's a damn good way of being entertained for nothing! Leave a Comment Directions: Granville Island is located just south of the city centre. Cross the bridge at False Creek by foot or take the bus.

 The entry to markets and
traffic chaos by ChadSteve1975
If you're not into all that then just head to the brewery to get the grand tour. Granville Island is home to not a bad drop.
Otherwise venture around the markets setting for fresh food, touristy gifts, or quality art. Leave a Comment
