Robson Street Overview
Every world-class city has one: the downtown shopping centre. The place that lights up at holiday time, the place where the streets are packed, no matter what the weather is like. The place where the big department stores live, where the luxury brands are, where the internationally-known stores can be found.
In Vancouver, that place is Robson Street.
Robson Street is packed with stores and restaurants, from Granville St. to Jervis St. Home to over 100 shops, it's also the epicentre of downtown Vancouver's shopping district.
Within short walking distance of Robson are the department stores The Bay (Hudson Bay Company) and Holt Renfrew, the Pacific Centre Mall (at Robson and Granville), and high-end luxury brands like Gucci and Tiffany's (between Robson and W Georgia, on Burrard).
Boasting a truly diverse array of shops, Robson Street and the stores around it offer fashion for everyone and every budget. Looking for cheap shoes? There's an Aldo Outlet on Granville and Robson. Looking for shoes to make you drool? There's a Ferragamo on Hornby and Robson.
