Robson Street (2 hrs)
The best shopping street in Vancouver is without a doubt Robson Street in downtown Vancouver.
The shopping area in Robson Street is located between Jervis Street and Burrard Street. At this directory you can see if your shop is available in the street.
By bus there’s a direct Service by #5, stop ‘Robson/Downtown’. By Skytrain Robson Street is located two blocks south of ‘Burrard Street’ Skytrain Station. On Foot the street is a short walk from any point in the downtown core.
The Elbow Room Café (1 hr)
A really unique place to have your breakfast or lunch is at The Elbow Room Café. They say: ‘food and service is our name, abuse is our game’. So prepare to be offended. The staff is specialised in (well-rehearsed) verbal abuse that they hurl with every cup of coffee. Even a lot of celebrities appreciate the theatrics, proofed by the framed photos of Hollywood customers at the walls.
They are open daily from 8 am to 4 pm for breakfast and lunch. Elbow Room is a bizarrely unique brunch spot that will collect a donation for AIDS charities if you fail to clean your plate.
You will find Elbow Room at 560 Davie Street. More information can be found at their website.
Summer night market (2 hrs)
The Summer Night Market in Richmond also known as The Richmond Night Market is one of those places you must go when visiting Vancouver.
