| Robson Street is Vancouver's most famous shopping street
and not without reason. In a three block stretch, between Hornby and
Bute Street, you'll find dozens of shoe stores, clothing stores,
restaurants, gift shops, lingerie shops, hair salons, candy stores,
along with the usual tourist places: souvenir shops, currency exchanges,
cheap eats and luggage stores. Some big international name brands are here: Ferragamo, Armani, Club Monaco, Guess, BeBe, Zara, Laura Ashley, Banana Republic, Swatch, Nike, Levi's, Body Shop, Gap, Starbucks, and Virgin Records. If you want to shop Canadian, then definitely check out Roots, M.A.C., Boys Co, Lush and Aritzia. Getting There: Robson Street is parallel to Georgia Street, Vancouver's main downtown street, and two blocks south. You can take the SkyTrain to the Burrard Street station then walk to Robson Street. If you want coffee or a treat, there are the ubiquitous Starbucks, two of which face each other on the corner of Robson and Thurlow. For restaurants along Robson there is probably no greater place in North America for quantity and quality choices. Robson Street has every type of restaurant you could imagine everything from fancy high end, fast food to Asian soup shops are there. One of my favorites restaurants, located on Robson is Hon's Wun Tun House. You can wander down Robson all the way to Denman if you want. You will be rewarded with shops, restaurants and surprises. Enjoy your trip. Today, one finds along Robson and its side streets fine dining, premier fashion stores and services, and an opportunity to 'people watch' as the world shops the street. |
