I leave my car and parking worries behind by using The Canada Line. With The Bay stores conveniently located near three different The Canada Line stations it is the best way to “shop till you drop”. Vancouver City Centre, Oakridge – 41st, and Richmond – Brighouse are all steps to a Bay store.
Just a short stroll from the Vancouver City Centre Station is the iconic Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, lovingly referred to as the ‘Castle in the City,’ by locals. The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is one of the oldest and grandest hotels in Vancouver. Opened in 1939 as a joint project of the Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway, the hotel has hosted King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
I remember seeing the women in Paris constantly on the move. Never in runners or walking shoes, always wearing stilettos. Man do they have great legs. No wonder Parisian women have terrific legs they walk everywhere including up and down the stairs to the Metro.
I’ve been told that The Fairmont Waterfront welcomes more guests from places in British Columbia than any of the other Fairmont properties. Fact or myth one thing is certain you will have a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Waterfront no matter where you hail from.
The Cambie corridor just north of Broadway has developed into a great commercial stopover. Whatever your household needs you can find just about anything in the strip between Broadway and the Cambie Street Bridge.
The perfect solution for budget-minded travellers like Lux Travel Diva who take early morning or red-eye flights from YVR, is to begin your travels at YVR. More specifically, consider a stay at Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel as the first day of your vacation…
Lux Travel Diva has taken The Canada Line to the Yaletown Station heading for 1241 Hamilton Street and the ultimate recycled and repurposed consignment store, Vous Valet.
On Monday, June 3 Lux Travel Diva will be taking the Canada Line to the Broadway-City Hall Station and only 5 blocks south the final destination Biercraft Bistro.
For those of us who travel over from Vancouver Island we can easily hop on a plane thanks to Pacific Coastal Airlines and Harbour Air service to either YVR, and the free shuttle to The Canada Line, or direct to Vancouver harbour and the opposite end of The Canada Line at Waterfront Station.
The Canada Line is not just for commuters slogging to and from work, nor is it only for travelers making their way to and from the airport; it’s a great way to explore our wonderful city! The Canada Line is also a fun way for visitors to spend a day (or more) getting to know Vancouver.
