Getting around the city is east as pie!
Public transit, including busses and sky train can get you most places. Also bike share and bike rentals are available. We often use the Evo car share or take an Uber. The little false creek ferries are also helpful, fun and an easy way to travel anywhere from Granville Island to Gastown! Look for links under our “transportation” heading.
