Vancouver shopping
Vancouver is an esoteric shopping city: While there are lots of great little stores and shopping areas, they're scattered across different parts of town. Downtown has a couple of malls—the 140-plus-shop Pacific Centre on West Georgia Street and Sinclair Centre on West Hastings—but it also has colorful Robson Street, with its blocks of flagship shops and cafés. Historic Gastown is where you'll find vintage clothing, antiques, and small local designers, and hip Yaletown is full of independently owned fashion boutiques (Global Atomic Designs, Atomic Model, Vasanji). Big-name fashion labels like Cartier, Gucci, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co. are located in and around the Hotel Vancouver at the corner of Burrard and Alberni streets. Two interesting districts worth exploring further include South Granville, known as Gallery Row, and Asia West, a community true to its name, with unique cultural offerings.
