CULTURAL DAYS

FOCUS ON...

From designer outlets to boutique shops, Richmond is filled with great deals on the eclectic and the essential. Your guests can get a head start on pre-holiday shopping at one of Richmond’s popular western style malls, such as CF Richmond Centre and Lansdowne Centre. They will discover global retailers, such as Apple, H&M, and Sephora.

For a different type of shopping experience, there are several malls with an Asian focus, including Aberdeen Centre, Yaohan Centre, and Parker Place. These malls feature countless boutiques selling everything from trendy Asian fashion and cute sushi sets to beautiful Chinese art.

The Canada Line SkyTrain station provides a direct connection from downtown Vancouver to Richmond, and to the YVR Airport. The transit fare is determined by your mode of travel, the time of the day, and the number of zones. As a quick reference, please see below for adult pricing:
