Sad too see downtown shops & restaurants are so quiet during COVID times! Travelling along the main streets to see the local shops & along the waterfront not very busy. Hoping 2021 will turnaround for everyone!

On this last trip we spent 6 days in Vancouver at 2 hotels...one on Burrard near Davie and the other on Burrard near Nicola. We must have walked 20 Km at all hours of the day/night and enjoyed every minute of it. Robson Street in particular was always lively.

Great way to explore Downtown Vancouver is to walk around Yaletown and the Westend. Lots of places to shop and eat around Granville, Howe and Seymour Streets. We stayed in the International Village, which was reasonable, safe (despite a few homeless near the Arena) and an easy walk to Gastown, Coal Harbour and False Creek, where you can catch a Ferry to Granville Island. We actually visited in April 2019, and only had 2 days to explore this beautiful city so on Day 1 walked form Chinatown, to Gastown, Coal Harbour and Stanley Park and then back through the central Westend back to Chinatown. Day 2 we took in Yaletown, Granville Island and Downtown and good way to explore. If we had longer a visit to the Capilano Bridge and Butchart Gardens would be on the cards....maybe next time, if we ever get back! Although a short visit this was definitely the most beautiful and our favourite city in Canada.…

We went downtown and met family for a lunch on the waterfront. We were very surprised to see how quiet it was on all of the main tourist areas! Love the city but COVID has taken a toll on people getting out to see the site & sounds of Vancouver! Hopefully everyone will have a "Stay Vacation" and enjoy the city!…
