BC Place

SkyTrain's Expo Line stops at Stadium-Chinatown Station — a 3-minute walk from BC Place. Trains every 2-4 minutes, $3.20 single fare. Direct connections from Waterfront, Burrard, and YVR Airport. Avoid driving — downtown parking is expensive and matchday traffic is brutal.

Designated rideshare pickup on Pacific Blvd, south of the stadium. Wait times can hit 30+ minutes after full-time. The SkyTrain is faster if you're heading downtown — walking 10 minutes east to Main Street-Science World Station skips most of the crowd.

The official FIFA Fan Fest at Concord Pacific Place, a short walk from the stadium. Giant screens, food trucks, sponsor activations, and live music. Free entry. Stunning views of the North Shore mountains and False Creek.

Walk 15 minutes to historic Gastown for pints before the match. The Alibi Room has a staggering beer list, and The Cambie is cheap, loud, and reliably full of sports fans. Gastown's cobblestone charm makes the walk feel like part of the day.

A food market in a converted industrial site under the Granville Street Bridge. Fresh seafood, artisan bakeries, and food stalls. Grab a coffee and a donut from Lee's, wander the artisan shops, and take a tiny ferry back across False Creek to the stadium.

A 10km waterside path around one of the world's great urban parks. The combination of ocean, mountains, and old-growth forest is unbeatable. Rent a bike near the stadium and do an hour before the match. Start at the False Creek end and head toward English Bay.

The iconic dome at the east end of False Creek — a 5-minute walk from the stadium. Great for families — interactive exhibits, an OMNIMAX theatre, and free outdoor plaza. The dome is one of Vancouver's most recognisable landmarks.

Vancouver's slick downtown dining and drinking strip, 10 minutes' walk from BC Place. Yaletown's brick heritage buildings hold cocktail bars (The Keefer), wine bars, and some of the city's best restaurants. After the match is the time to be here.
