Granville Street is the main access to downtown Vancouver, BC using BC Highway-99. In the heart of downtown Granville is closed to private vehicles and become a pedestrian Mall.

Granville and the streets around it are really Historic Downtown Vancouver. Here you will find “The Hudson’s Bay Company” occupying its grand building. You will also find the Hotel Vancouver’s green copper roof peaking up from a couple blocks to the west and many other things that are “Vancouver.” On the map above the “Granville” area is shown in light yellow. Officially this area is the “Downtown” neighborhood.

In this area you will find everything “Vancouver” like; world class hotels, restaurants of every type, bars, nightclubs, and endless shopping. Not only will you find the center of Vancouver in this area, you will also find the Coal Harbour community along the shore of Burrard Inlet with its waterfront hotels, cruise terminal, and convention center.

Pacific Center – A downtown Shopping Mall

We have learned that the easiest place to park in downtown Vancouver is Pacific Center. The Mall is a good place to start and end your visit. The Pacific Center Shopping Mall is located above and below ground here. It has underground parking and connections to the various buildings in the mall. Pacific Center occupies a three full blocks between Granville and Howe Streets (they are parallel and one block apart). It runs from Robson Street at the south past Georgia and Dunsmuir Streets to Pender Street on the north.
