Granville Island

Granville Island isn't really an island but a former industrial peninsula tucked under a bridge in the heart of Vancouver, reborn as one of the city's most enjoyable places to wander. Its centrepiece is the Public Market, a covered hall packed with produce, seafood, cheese, baked goods, and food stalls; around it sprawl artisan studios, theatres, galleries, a houseboat community, and breweries, all still wearing their corrugated-industrial bones.

Half the fun is getting there by one of the tiny rainbow-coloured ferries that scoot across False Creek. Come hungry, browse the makers' workshops, grab lunch from the market, and watch the boats and seaplanes against the downtown skyline.

Anreise

Wissenswertes vor dem Besuch

• Arrive by mini-ferry across False Creek, it's cheap and half the experience.
• Go to the Public Market in the morning for the best selection and smallest crowds.
• Parking is limited and frustrating; transit, ferry, or bike are far easier.
• Don't miss the artisan studios behind the market, glassblowers, printmakers, and more.

Ein Stück Geschichte

Created from dredged sand in the early 20th century as an industrial manufacturing district, Granville Island fell into decline by mid-century. A federal redevelopment in the 1970s deliberately preserved the industrial character while converting the sheds into a market, arts, and food destination, a celebrated example of urban renewal.
