Eat your way through the Public Market and hear the stories, culture, and history behind the tasty creations. Step behind the scenes to experience a side that many never see — even the locals. Tuck into locally-cured meats, small production cheeses and freshly-baked breads by renowned culinary artisans. 

In the late afternoon join a tour of the most-historic neighbourhood, Gastown, a charming maze of cobblestone streets, Victorian architecture, and legendary eating and drinking establishments. It’s a magnificent juxtaposition of old and new; ambitious restauranteurs thrive alongside Vancouver classics.
