). It is called by different names depending what you read: the "Tourist InfoCentre" is the most common designation. Besides information on the city and much of southeastern British Columbia, the office provides
foreign exchange
facilities, BC TransLink (transit or public transport) tickets and information, and tickets to sports and entertainment events. It also has one of the most comprehensive
accommodation services
imaginable, backed up by bulging photo albums of hotel rooms and B&Bs: the booking service is free. Smaller kiosks open in the summer (July & Aug) in a variety of locations, usually including Stanley Park and close to the Vancouver Art Gallery on the corner of Georgia and Granville (daily 9.30am-5.30pm, Thurs & Fri till 9pm).
