Grab a latte with latte art at Caffè Artigiano. The baristas here take their time, and the espresso is excellent. It’s a quiet start before the gallery rush.
16:57
Walk into the Vancouver Art Gallery. Use the admission by donation window on Tuesdays from 5 to 9 PM. If you are visiting on a different day, the full admission applies. Spend your time looking at the Emily Carr permanent collection and checking the current special exhibits.
17:42
Step out to the Vancouver Art Gallery Offsite viewing spot. It is a seven-minute walk northwest from the gallery. Position yourself to catch the sun setting toward the WSW. The golden light starts about 53 minutes before this moment, so arrive early to secure your spot.
18:27
End the evening with a meal at Shabusen Yakiniku House. This Japanese and Korean BBQ house is just a short walk from the gallery. Order raw meat and cook it yourself at the table grill. Reservations are recommended for dinner.
Local tip
