The Island's flagship is the bustling Granville Island Public Market – where exotic produce and gourmet ingredients are sold alongside global dishes and local specialties. Take a guided tasting tour of the market's labyrinth of shops and stands with Vancouver Foodie Tours' Granville Island Market Tour, or wander the massive space on your own and pick up fixings for an al fresco picnic – the docks are always lively with visitors enjoying delicious food while buskers lend a festive feel. Outside the market, you can drop in for a tasting of local brews at Dockside Restaurant, catch a show starring the Vancouver TheatreSports League or browse shop-packed Railspur Alley. Then take the scenic route to your next destination – Aquabus and False Creek Ferries water taxis provide transport across False Creek to and from Granville Island. A VIEW FROM THE TOP Located in the downtown Harbour Centre, the Vancouver Lookout, at a height of 130 metres (430 feet), is the perfect place to survey the city. Or, take a virtual aerial tour: Vancouver's newest big attraction, FlyOver Canada, will have you soaring from coast to coast in an immersive experience for all five senses! Granville Island
