Fodor's Expert Review Robson Street

Running from the Terry Fox Plaza outside BC Place Stadium down to the West End, Robson is Vancouver's busiest shopping street, where fashionistas hang out at see-and-be-seen sidewalk cafés, high-end boutiques, and chain stores. Most of the designer action takes place between Jervis and Burrard Streets, and that's also where you can find buskers and other entertainers in the evening. Alberni Street, that runs parallel to Robson from Burrard Street, is the other hot spot for uber high-end brands.
