Transit: Very safe. Well-lit and pedestrian-heavy along the waterfront.
Yaletown

Former warehouse district turned upscale restaurant and bar zone. Some of Vancouver's best restaurants are here, and it's an easy walk to BC Place along the waterfront.
Stadium: 10-minute walk to BC Place along False Creek
Transit: Safe, upscale, very walkable.
Gastown
$$–$$$$$–$$$
Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood with brick-cobblestone streets, the famous steam clock, and a strong bar and cocktail scene. Excellent for post-match nights.
Stadium: 15–20 min walk or SkyTrain to Stadium-Chinatown
Transit: Generally safe in the tourist area. The transition zone east of Gastown toward the DTES requires awareness at night.
Kitsilano

A more local neighbourhood feel across False Creek. Kitsilano Beach, great cafés, and a vibrant morning culture. Better for fans staying multiple weeks who want a neighbourhood experience.
