Funky shops, Italian coffee houses and bistros blend to create an interesting place to shop. Along Commercial Drive from Hastings Street to Broadway. Once the home of the 'Flower Children'of the 60's, Fourth Avenue has become a trendy street of specialty stores and restaurants. The oldest commercial area of the city. This is a place to listen to street musicians, buy fresh produce and gourmet items, and enjoy the sea and gulls while eating on the docks of the Granville Island restaurants.
Many guests spend several hours wandering here and want to go back the next day.
It is the shopping spot that best expresses the spirit of our Westcoast city. Under the Granville Street bridge. Easiest access off Burrard on 2nd Ave. It is the antique or collectables lover's dream with great coffee houses and cafes to enjoy while you ponder the best way to have that antique stuffed wingback chair delivered back home. A great place to see and be seen, it's on every visitor's list as a place to spend money.
