Gastown Steam Clock & Downtown Vancouver

#holidayitinerary

So I decided to Visit the famous historic monument : the Gastown Steam Clock at Water Street as recommended by friends xoxo.

The Instagram famous spot was very crowded. Everyone was just standing around waiting for the steam clock to whistle and release steam lol.

Gastown is Vancouver's oldest neighborhood, known for its Victorian architecture, cobblestone streets, and the iconic Steam Clock.

It is a vibrant area with a mix of trendy restaurants, bars, boutiques and art galleries. From here it’s also within walking distance to the Cruise Centre at Canada Place as well as Chinatown.

It was also from here as I walked towards Chinatown that I chanced upon my favourite Maison Kitsuné and Cafe Kitsuné Vancouver outlets too !

What a cultural walkabout from my hotel Holiday Inn & Suites Vancouver, Downtown at 1110 Howe Street.
