Getting to Vancouver can be typically done by multiple options.

  • Ny Air:  The main airport is Vancouver International Airport and is well connected to the airports of major cities across the globe.
  • By Road: Many people in Seattle opt to take the three hour drive north to see the city. Also you can travel all your way to Vancouver from Toronto by road.

Convenient and easy to use, Public transport is the best way to travel around the city. The extensive metro, bus and train network just makes it a lot more convinient for you.

    • I suppose you are inquiring about transportation options from the Pacific Central Station in Vancouver to the Canada Place Cruise Terminal. You can either hire a taxi or you will first have to walk to the Main-Street Science World Station which is at about 4-minute walking distance from the Central Station. Get on the Expo Line metro to Waterfront Station. From the Waterfront Station, you will again have to walk to the Canada Place which is at a 5-minute walking distance.
