Robson Street

Vancouver's main shopping thoroughfare.

Vancouver's top shopping street holds all of the mass-market favourites, including Gap, Banana Republic, Roots, American Apparel and Bebe, as well as lots of touristy restaurants, especially on the upper floors on both sides of the street's buildings. It's also a bit of a cruising hotspot so expect lots of cars from the suburbs to be trawling the corners and blasting loud music.

Top Tip / UJ Loves: There's two Starbucks' on opposite corners to each other on Robson and Burrard. The one on the Northeast side is quiet, and the one on the Southwest side is where the local bikers sun themselves, park their Harleys and drink non-fat hazelnut, no foam lattes.
