More than just the landing strip for Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Richmond, just south of the City of Vancouver, is host to busy commercial activities you just may want to explore.

From the casino at the River Rock resort, to the Asian style malls for an assortment of East-meets-West shopping at Golden Village, Aberdeen Centre, Parker Place, Yaohan Centre, and the summer nights market events on the banks of the Fraser River. The Historic Fishing Village of Steveston is a delight – still a working commercial fishery with the friendly atmosphere of local cafés with fresh foods, boutiques, gifts, music and more. And did you know that cranberries are the biggest crop in Richmond?

View accommodation in Richmond and locations near the Vancouver International Airport. The approximate driving distance between downtown Vancouver and the Vancouver International Airport is 20 to 30 minutes.
