City: False Creek
Top Things to do in False Creek
Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in False Creek, Canada
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.

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

I must have walked by Ocean Concrete's massive art mural ten times during my stay on Granville Island, and each time I had to take photos. Surprising fun in the middle of the concrete plant. I noted new details and laughs each time. Like the little boy's pockets and bare feet. Got another view from the Sandbar Restaurant next door. Ocean Concrete's mixer trucks are also works of art: an ear of corn, tomatoes, just arty and fun. Look for them in the morning as they are leaving the Island for concrete deliveries!
