The 10 Best Things to do in Fairview, Canada

January 12, 2022 Kelli Reichel

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

I have bought two beautiful prints made by Northwest Coast artists from the Douglas Reynolds Gallery. One I purchased directly from the gallery, and one I purchased online which then had to be shipped. In both instances, the gallery was very helpful and professional. My second print was shipped to the United States during Covid. The gallery was communicative during the process of matting, framing, crating and finally shipping. The print arrived in perfect condition, beautifully framed and more lovely than it had appeared online. Thank you so much Erica!

Granville Island

Former industrial site has been transformed into an artsy, posh neighborhood with quaint shops, cafes and bookstores.

Reviewed By 643darenr - Burnham-On-Sea, United Kingdom

This was somewhere where we wanted to visit on our last trip but never made it. But glad we took the time on this trip and spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon on the Island. The public market is amazing, the sights, smells and colours are breathtaking selling everything from fruit and veg (all expertly displayed), to flowers, soaps, local crafts and the dessert counters WOW AMAZING. The food court area did get extremely busy but we were able to find a seat - the Chinese food counter was our preferred meal option and it was delicious, with us opting for the Lemon Chicken and the Honey Garlic pork. The food was that good that we actually visited again the following week. There are lots of other places to visit around the market, with shops and amazing houseboats + I believe there was a childrens play area. We then used one of the aqua buses to get a different view of the area back to Plaza of Nations. I would highly recommend Granville Market if you are in Vancouver

This could be certainly a fun way to get around the downtown core area across the water to Granville Island and back and into the West End as well it can be a little expensive though so you should be buying a day pass

We took the mini aquabus over to the island, although many of the hop-on.hop-off buses pick up and drop off there, It's a great place for a stroll, many food stalls also plenty of artisan goods and handmade jewelery/ceramics etc. Lots of lovely food to choose from for lunch.
