Well-known and well-known buildings

The city, Vancouver is a very young city. In 1986 this Canadian city celebrated its 100th anniversary. Buildings from the first decades of the 20th century and thus from a time when Vancouver was not that old can be found in many local corners to which city guides like to take foreign tourists. These include the former courthouse that now houses the Art Gallery, located on Homby Street. Another destination for many tourists is the terracotta-clad Dominion Building, which was the tallest building in the British Empire from 1908 to 1910. The town’s landmark, the Marine Building erected in 1930, is, of course, one of the local corners to which city guides also take foreign holidaymakers. One of the most beautiful corners of the city is Canada Place, where the landing stages of the large cruise ships are. From here the ships start on excursions to Alaska. In addition, numerous festivals take place at this location.

Vancouver in Canada is also a shoppers paradise. There are numerous shopping streets that are easy to find. In addition, there are markets that make shopping in this city a real experience.

Gastown, the old town, is one of the “corners” you have to visit in this city. This stretches along Water Street and is considered the center of the city. You can not only shop here, but also go out in the evening. This is also where the Steam Clock is located on the corner of Cambie Street, which sounds every fifteen minutes. It is a steam powered clock that was the first of its kind.
