Local knowledge for Vancouver
Where to stay
Gastown and the Granville Street corridor are where most budget accommodation clusters. Gastown puts you a short walk from the waterfront and the Expo Line, while the Granville area gives you quick access to the Canada Line south toward the airport.
Getting around
- Skip the Capilano Suspension Bridge admission, which runs a steep admission fee, and go to Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver instead. The suspension bridge there is free and the forest trails are just as good.
- Pick up a Compass Card for transit. It works across all SkyTrain lines, city buses, and the SeaBus to North Vancouver, and costs less per trip than buying single fares at the machine.
- Granville Island Public Market is a solid spot for a cheap lunch from the food stalls, but go on a weekday. Weekend afternoons pack the place and half your time goes to just moving through the crowd.
When to go
July and August are the most expensive months, with waterfront hostels booking out weeks ahead. Rates drop noticeably from November through March.
