As immense as its name implies--it is the biggest mall in B.C.-- Metropolis at Metrotown is one heck of a shopping centre: It has over 450 stores, plus restaurants, movie theatres, and unique events.

You can find just about anything at this gargantuan mall--from appliances to clothes to electronics--and the stores tend to be more middle-of-the-budget than high-end.

(If you want high-end fashion, Downtown Vancouver's Holt Renfrew and the designer boutiques near Robson Street are better bets.)

Metropolis is a great place to shop for variety, teen and kids' fashions and home accessories, or to spend a rainy day exploring its many levels.
