Arts & Culture

The Granville Island shops are great to visit on a sunny day. Edible Canada Restaurant offers great brunch or The Vancouver Fish Company's mussel and clam bowl or fish and chips is great for lunch/ dinner. The Market is also a great place to get local groceries—but I recommend the donuts from Lee's or the Halloumi wrap at the Greek place inside the food court.

Easy walking/ hiking trails (although a lot of stairs) along with a suspension bridge. It's a nice free alternative to the more busy Capilano suspension bridge.
