CityWalk route in downtown Vancouver|National Historic Street

👍️Reason for recommendation: Vancouver was originally called Gastown, which refers to the downtown area🏘️It was formed from 1867 to 1870. By 1875, Gastown had ten buildings, four of which were dedicated to selling alcoholic beverages.

If you come to Vancouver, you must come to DT for a walk. The BC provincial government listed it as a historic city in 1971 and a national historic site in 2009. There is history here and many beautiful buildings.
