Is it safe for a solo woman if I take a cab back and forth from my hotel (in Richmond) Unfortunately, the Richmond night market has been cancelled for 2008. See this story. You might want to try the one in Chinatown, if you're up for it. (but it's going to be a 45-minute cab ride from Richmond!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-to-sea Posted April 26, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2008 If you don't want to go into Vancouver, you might want to consider Steveston. It is not a market but an historic part of Richmond with both shops and historic sights(these may not be open in the evening though). It is easy to walk around, has some nice eating places and retains some of the charm of Richmond's early days as a fishing centre. Easily reached by cab from your hotel. http://www.hellobc.com/en-CA/SightsActivitiesEvents/Richmond.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love getting seafood straight from the fishing boats to take home and cook. It quiets down at night, and you can just have a nice stroll in the evening by the docks, or have a coffee at one of the cafes and look out at the water. I think it is a very safe place for a woman travelling on her own. An alternative to taking a cab is taking the bus. http://www.steveston.bc.ca/directions.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelady Posted April 28, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thanks all for your input. I'm disappointed that the Night Market is down for the count, but Steveston sounds like it may be a nice place to spend my last evening before I have to go back to the real world!!! -Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
