For the most part Vancouver is a pretty safe city. The downtown area and tourist areas are generally quite safe, but like most cities there are always spots to avoid. Below is a list of safe, not so safe tourist sights.

Safe

• Stanley Park (parking lot car break-ins, don’t leave bags out in open)
• Canada Place
• Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Center
• Sunset Beach
• Chinatown
• Gastown
• Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden
• BC Place
• Yaletown
• Granville Island
• Robson & Burrard Street shopping
• Pacific Centre Mall

Not Safe

• Main St. & E. Hastings street (homeless, drug addicts, addiction center, mental illness center)
• Avoid the city of Surrey (most dangerous city in the Greater Vancouver Area) , if you are heading outside of Vancouver (gangs, violent crimes, robbery, shootings).

Like most metropolitan cities in the world there are homeless people that pan for money from people on the street, also there is purse snatchers…according to Vancouver police this happens 2-3 times a week, so hold or hide them purses.

Practice common sense safety precautions like look out for suspicious group of men (gangs), put your purse or wallet not accessible by pick-pockets and purse snatchers. Keep belongings in car hidden.

Make sure you know your driving route before putting car in gear, you don’t want to pull over somewhere where you can be robbed on the street (Surrey, BC). Go to gas station / restaurant or place of business if you need directions.

This is a beautiful attraction and great place for tourist and as well for locals to get away from the city to enjoy nature.  Capilano Suspension Bridge picture gallery.

Granville Island is a wonderful place and a must visit for any tourist to Vancouver. It is considered part of downtown Vancouver near areas such as Gastown, Chinatown, West End, Stanley Park, Canada Place and Robson Street. They are all within a few kilometers of the corners of Georgia and Granville streets which is the centre of the downtown core of Vancouver.

To easily locate Granville Island just go to the south end of the Granville Street Bridge and Granville Island is right under it. Just cross the Burrard Street Bridge heading south in direction, and then turn left at 2nd Avenue. Important to note tha the Public Market is closed on Mondays from Thanksgiving to Victoria Day, but pretty much all the craft shops and Kids Only Market are open every day of the week.

Granville Island’s location is near two of Vancouver main city bridges, at the place where English Bay becomes False Creek, it is an area that is always hustling and bustling. You can catch great views of the water from any point along its perimeter which makes this island a truly a unique place in Vancouver.

Granville Island today is now a sophisticated area containing the performing arts and education center, artists studios, workshops, art galleries and a wonderful public market has a wide array of fresh food in the Lower Mainland. In addition Granville Island is a great place to dine and place to meet your friends, eat and spend some time in a safe and relaxing environment.

As you look out on to the island, there are various marinas that have working fishing vessels and not to mention luxurious hi-tech personal pleasure craft and yachts and there is also a cement plant / factory that offers visually a unique contrast to its surroundings. Looking around you will also view the False Creek condo towers with marinas at the base of the condominiums which kinda looks like you are in Miami.

Activity:
There is a lot to see and do on Granville Island, you can shop for fresh vegetables, fruit, and seafood, grab a great cup of coffee at one of many unique coffe shops, buy flowers for your girlfriend or wife, or shop at the quaint shops. There is also a multitude of wonderful restaurants, artist’s workshops and Granville Island is located in a very picturesque spot, False Creek, so if you like taking pictures you can do that too. If browsing around markets is not your thing, you can picturesque walk around the seawall which goes along False Creek, and offers up a amazing views both of the city and mountains.

If you have kids your kids will enjoy The Kids Only Market (1496 Cartwright) where there is full of activities and things for your kids to do. There are toys, clothes, and video games, plus two playgrounds. One of playground has a water park and water slide which is open during the summer months. Your child can find many attractions including the Kid’s Market, a waterpark and playground, a Floating Village of houseboats and little bright coloured ferries taking people back and forth among points on the waterfronts.

Be aware that Granville Island can get very busy, mainly during the tourist season. If you don’t like crowds, the large amount of people might be a discouragement and parking can be quite difficult to find, but if you are persistent you will get a spot, because there are always people leaving.

Gastown is also know for the world’s first Steam Clock and is a great tourist attraction. At each 15 minute interval the clock sounds Westminster chimes on 5 brass steam whistlers. The Steam Clock was designed and put together by Raymond Saunders in 1977 based on a 1875 model, it has a cast bronze case and weighs over 2 tons and the movement was powered by a ‘falling ball’ drive.

The saloon/hotel that started it all was burned down in the Great Fire of 1886. The fire ripped through the whole town and destroyed Vancouver, it was thought to have been started by clearing fire that went out of control by Canadian Pacific Railway. It destroyed 398 homes in about an hour, only 2 of the 400 original houses made it.

Unlike the houses that burned down in the Great Fire of 1886, “The Europe Hotel” is built to withstand fire and it was the first fireproof building in western Canada. The Europe Hotel was built by Italian businessman Angelo Colari in 1892. It was known as the finest hotel in town during those days.

In Maple Tree Square you will find the statue of Gassy Jack Deighton, there is also the Fisherhead Water Fountain stands near the Lamplighter Pub in the Dominion Hotel which was the first Vancouver business to serve alcohol to women.

If you are into Canadian art , Gastown is home to many great art galleries, with works from a selection of Canadian Native artist and sculpters in Western Canada.

Participate in a free 1.5 hour walking tour of Gastown that is conducted daily from June through August. It starts at the Gastown Steam Clock and Gassy Jack statue in Maple Tree Square, you can contact the Gastown Business Improvement Society for schedules if you are interested.

Make you way to the 300 block of West Cordova Street where you will discover street shops selling collectibles, antiques, Canadian designer fashions, and dine at cool eateries, all this on one block.

Gastown is near to Vancouver city’s downtown business area and hotels so it will be quite easy to find and west of it is the Canada Place. You can easily walk from Gastown to the Cruise Ship Terminal or the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre. Heading east of Gastown you will come to Vancouver’s Chinatown and you will be very close to the Sun Yat Sen Gardens. Now going south you will discover the BC Place, Rogers Arena (formerly GM Place), and International Village.

To get to Gastown is quite easy, you can get there by SkyTrain, Vancouver’s rapid transit system, SeaBus (ferry service from the North Shore), West Coast Express and city buses from all areas of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

Canada Place is located on Vancouver’s waterfront at 999 Canada Place right in the middle of Howe Street and Burrard Street and paid parking is available at the Canada Place parkade. It is a stone throw away from Waterfront Station and you can also get there by Seabus, Canada Line, Skytrain and Bus.


Your first spot to visit at the Canada Place is the Welcome Centre in the Main Plaza, here you can ask and find out about the attractions at Canada Place and what events are currently happening. Also view the Storyboard for beautiful imagery and videos of Canada as a country. Walk towards the Canada Place Pier and enjoy the amazing views of Coal Harbour, North Shore mountains, Stanley Park, and Burrard Inlet.

Walk through the Canadian Trail which takes you through (virtually tour) ten provinces and three territories, starting from British Columbia to Newfoundland to the Northwest Territories. At night time you can also enjoy the view of Canada Place’s sails light up in a fantastic display of animated imagery called “The Sails of Light”.

History
The first hikers recorded in history to reach the peak in October 1894 named Grouse Mountain. In the late 1800′s, climbing Grouse Mountain was no easy task, and took nearly three or four days to complete, back then there wasn’t a bridge to cross Burrard Inlet and no paved street to the base of the Grouse Mountain. The rugged crew of hikers dredged deep  snow, climbed over rocks and of course fought their way past the dense forest. Grouse Mountain was named after Blue Grouse which was a breed of birds that were plentiful in the mountains, and this was what the band of hikers hunted while trekking to the summit.

After this first climb up Grouse Mountain and word spread the mountain started attracting hundreds of avid and adventurous hikers. Don and Phyllis Munday was one of the those adventure seeker and he built the first log cabin on the mountain. The Munday Alpine Snowpark to this day bears their name in honor of their contributions to mountaineering.
