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.
Why choose the hop‑on hop‑off bus in Vancouver

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.
