Information
The excellent Vancouver visitor centre is almost opposite Canada Place at the foot of Burrard Street in the Waterfront Centre, 200 Burrard St at the corner of Canada Place Way (June-Aug daily 8am-6pm; Sept-May Mon-Fri 8.30am-5pm, Sat 9am-5pm; tel 683-2000 or 1-800/663-6000 or 1-800/435-5622, www.tourismvancouver.com ). It is called by different names depending what you read: the "Tourist InfoCentre" is the most common designation. Besides information on the city and much of southeastern British Columbia, the office provides foreign exchange facilities, BC TransLink (transit or public transport) tickets and information, and tickets to sports and entertainment events. It also has one of the most comprehensive accommodation services imaginable, backed up by bulging photo albums of hotel rooms and B&Bs: the booking service is free. Smaller kiosks open in the summer (July & Aug) in a variety of locations, usually including Stanley Park and close to the Vancouver Art Gallery on the corner of Georgia and Granville (daily 9.30am-5.30pm, Thurs & Fri till 9pm).
