Since most shopping areas are concentrated into a few blocks, it becomes easy to shop in Vancouver. While South Granville and Main Street are known for the most antique clothing stores, West Broadway is a place to get outdoor gear.

With some of the best shops in Vancouver, Robson Street is a favourite place for street shopping. As most high-end boutiques are located here, Robson Street is just perfect for the European style clothing and designer shopping. Enjoy shopping while dining at one of the variety of eating joints to keep up your shopping stamina.

Granville Island and its surrounding area are also famous for fun-shopping as it has an exciting thriving market. Visit Kitsilano to experience the best spa in Vancouver and the deliciously baked goods on West Broadway.

Though contrary to present day fashion, people in Vancouver do not like mall culture much but still you find downtown Pacific Centre Mall famous for luxury boutiques and departmental stores. To enjoy a megamall experience, get on to a SkyTrain and get off at the Metrotown Station to visit three adjoining malls - Eaton Square, Metrotown Centre and Station Square. Metrotown Centre is the biggest shopping mall in the British Columbia.
