Gastown

A historic district in Vancouver known for its cobbled streets, vintage lampposts, unique shops, and the iconic steam clock.

Dating back to 1867, Gastown is the oldest neighborhood in the city and retains its historic charm with heritage architecture and red-brick cobblestone walkways. Combining the old and new, today the district is home to a thriving fashion scene, independent boutiques, hipster coffee shops, and local art galleries. Not only is Gastown just a short walk away from the downtown core, it’s also small enough to be completely explored on foot in an afternoon.
