How to hop on the Vancouver sightseeing bus

Most visitors start near Canada Place or the Vancouver Convention Centre, but you can join at any official stop along the route. Key transit hubs like Waterfront Station and Granville Island are easy to reach by SkyTrain, SeaBus, bus, or on foot from central hotels.

By Train

Arrive by SkyTrain at Waterfront Station (Expo & Canada Lines) or Burrard and hop a short walk to the main boarding points. From Vancouver International Airport, the Canada Line takes you downtown in about 25 minutes.

By Car

Downtown parking is limited and often paid; if you drive, consider parking in a central lot and using the hop‑on hop‑off bus to explore—this avoids circling for spaces and saves time.

By Bus

TransLink buses connect neighbourhoods across the city to downtown hubs like Granville, Davie, and Burrard. From there, the sightseeing stops are generally signposted and a short walk away.

On Foot

If you’re staying in downtown, Yaletown, Coal Harbour, or near Gastown, most main stops are an easy walk. Keep an eye out for staff or branded signage to find the correct boarding point.

Stanley Park & the Seawall

Hop off to stroll or cycle the Seawall, visit the Totem Poles at Brockton Point, and feel the forested quiet just minutes from downtown. Stanley Park is both an urban sanctuary and a place to spot seals, kayaks and spectacular sunsets over English Bay.

Granville Island & False Creek

Granville Island’s Public Market is a feast for the senses—fresh seafood, artisan cheese, and local crafts. Small ferries and water taxis cross False Creek, linking market stalls to science museums and waterfront parks.

Gastown, Canada Place & Downtown

From Gastown’s heritage buildings and independent shops to Canada Place’s iconic sails and the bustling waterfront, the route threads together Vancouver’s history, architecture and harbour life.
