Vancouver’s business and retail core is where the action happens and is extremely walkable. Here is where you can navigate the sidewalks packed with people in suits (and yoga wear, because well, Vancouver) while admiring the shiny glass architecture. Downtown Vancity is home to the retail hubs of Robson Street, Pacific Centre, and Nordstrom. Busine...
Let us paint a picture of Yaletown. Imagine fit, beautiful people walking their French bulldog on a leash as it pees on the artificial grass, partygoers dressed to the nines and teetering down the cobblestone sidewalks in stilettos, all the self-care businesses you’ll ever need, from fitness to botox to spas, and a plethora of upscale (read: expens...
Lamp-lit cobblestone streets, charming sidewalk terraces, and heritage architecture lend a dose of European charm to this area of town. Situated adjacent to downtown, Gastown often sees a lot of tourists coming off the cruise ships or seaplanes and has the tacky souvenir shops to prove it. Walk along Water Street (Vancouver’s first street) to find ...
This area is the proud, rainbow-clad home of Vancouver’s LGBTQ community. Davie Street is the spot you’ll want to go for eats, drinks, and dancing with the city’s most vivacious queens. The area is capped off by the stunning English Bay, one of Vancouver’s prime sundowner viewpoints, where you’ll find a large stretch of beach dotted with logs for l...
While we’re on the topic of beaches, views and prime sunset locations, allow us to introduce you to the neighbourhood of Kitsilano, or “Kits” for short. It’s been said that this beach attracts some of the best-looking people in the city/country/world (are we biased?). This could be something to do with the major #fitfam scene here. And yes, those p...
You’ll know you’ve hit East Van when you notice the chill hipster vibes, colourful murals, and breweries on every corner. Must-visit hubs are Main Street in Mount Pleasant and Commercial Drive (dubbed as “The Drive” by locals). Both are comin’ in hot as the trendiest and most desirable areas of the city for young people to live and hang out, as gen...
Situated on the seawall and capped off by Stanley Park, there is a calm, peaceful, fresh vibe to this neighbourhood. These high rises boast some of the city’s most expensive, most lavish real estate – and, rightfully so. A lovely place for a stroll with a cup of gelato or a bike ride – and keep an eye out for seals in the marina! This is also anoth...
Right across the bridge from the downtown core, continue down Granville Street to (what some people are trying to call) “SoGo,” for chic boutiques, art galleries, and all the home decor stores you ever dreamed of. A major attraction is Granville Island, an art hub under the bridge that offers a large fresh food market, various restaurants, cute sho...
Originally created as the athletes’ homes for the 2010 Winter Olympics, this area consists of complexes of shiny condo builds, spacious seawall grounds with plenty of room for people-watching, and some fab drinking establishments. It’s a newer and increasingly desirable area of town with awesome views of Science World, BC Place, and Rogers Arena. H...
We’ve been saving our pennies and we still can’t afford to live in Point Grey, but we do enjoy sneaking a peek at its drool-worthy oceanview properties. This is home to some of Vancouver’s more chill and spacious beaches, Spanish Banks and Jericho Beach – perfect for beach volleyball, a picnic on the grass, or just epic views of the downtown skylin...
