Getting Around

Knowing how to get around is important. How to get from there (Airport, Canada/US Border, Downtown) to here (Vancouver Airport Marriott). How to get to a good (Chinese, Pizza, Thai, Mexican, Greek, etc.) restaurant. How to get to local shops selling (Gaming, Clothing, Accessories, etc.) goods.

Well, look no farther - you should be able to find out how to get to anything you need from this page.

Getting to VCON

There are many ways you might try to get to VCON - car, bus, bike, on foot, pogo-stick, stilts, dog sled, camel-back, kangaroo-back - though some are certainly more likely than others. We've included instructions on how to get to the VCON 35 Venue by car and transit below. For the others, you'll just have to rely on your wits and maybe a Google Search

Directions By Transit

The Vancouver Airport Marriott is a mere hop, skip and a jump from the brand-spanking-new Canada Line branch of the Skytrain - Vancouver's Rapid Transit system. This makes it extremely easy to get to by transit, pretty much no matter where you are in the lower mainland. As long as you can get yourself to a Skytrain station, you can get to VCON.

Even if you're not particularly well equiped to hop, skip or jump, there's a bus stop right in front of the hotel itself, and it's only one transfer off the Skytrain to get a bus that will drop you off right there.
