Vancouver - Granville Mall

Since 1976 Granville Mall between Nelson Street and Hastings Street has been Vancouver's main shopping street (closed to all private traffic). The Pacific Center and the Vancouver Center (at the Georgia St./Granville St. intersection) are two big shopping complexes with numerous shops and cinemas above and below ground. The Orpheum Theatre (865 Seymour St., off the Mall) used to be the Variété Théatre of Vancouver. Today the lovingly restored building is the concert hall home of the famous Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

Further along the Granville Mall a number of large Canadian department stores have branches.
