Is Granville Island, Vancouver, Canada a good place to go?
Yes, it is. Granville Island is practically in the middle of Vancouver, and is full of funky little shops and boutiques plus a huge farmer’s market. From Granville Island you can take the Aquabus (a little water bus) that runs from Science World at the foot of False Creek, to Granville Island, the Maritime Museum, Sunset Beach and several other spots along the way. It zig zags from one side of the Creek to the other. If your friend is interested in skiing, Grouse, Seymour, Hollyburn and Cypress ski hills are all there. If he wants to hop on a bus, he can tour the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics at Whistler ski resort. But back in Vancouver, there are lots of tourist attractions, ranging from Stanley Park and the Aquarium to the Teahouse at Ferguson Point, the University of BC Museum of Mankind, which has some magnificent pieces of First Nations work; Richmond’s Buddhist Temples and enormous oriental markets and bazaars are good fun for shopping — the list goes on and on. Check out HelloBC.com for a few more suggestions. Why don’t you come with your friend. You’d both enjoy Vancouver!
