Lonsdale Quay North Vancouver

Victoria Day Tour

Lonsdale Quay North Vancouver Overview

Lonsdale Quay: The vibrant Lonsdale Quay offers a distinctly local North Vancouver experience just a short 12-minute SeaBus ride across the harbor from downtown, making it both a destination and a journey as passengers enjoy spectacular city views during the crossing. The centerpiece of Lonsdale Quay is its popular Public Market, where over 80 specialty shops and services offer everything from fresh produce and artisanal foods to unique gifts and crafts showcasing local talent and regional specialties. After shopping, visitors to Lonsdale Quay can ascend the distinctive red Q Tower observation deck for breathtaking panoramic views of Vancouver’s skyline, the working harbor, and the North Shore mountains that form the city’s dramatic backdrop. Families particularly enjoy Lonsdale Quay for its welcoming atmosphere, children’s play areas, and regular schedule of free concerts, cultural events, and seasonal festivals that animate the waterfront plaza throughout the year. The surrounding Shipyards District near Lonsdale Quay has undergone remarkable revitalization in recent years, with historic industrial buildings transformed into galleries, restaurants, and public spaces that honor the area’s shipbuilding heritage while creating a thoroughly modern urban experience. While our hop-on hop-off bus operates primarily in Vancouver proper, our city tour guides can provide information about accessing Lonsdale Quay via public transportation for those wishing to experience this North Shore highlight.
