"Scope out the cool architecture (such as that of the Vancouver Public Library), check out the Vancouver Art Gallery or window shop on Robson Street (Vancouver’s version of Rodeo Drive). End your walk at Trees Organic Coffee on the edge of Gastown. It’s a great place to people watch, especially because it’s conveniently located next to an Instagrammable pink street. Not only do you get to watch people take cheesy photos, but you can take some of your own as well."

"Take the shuttle back to Canada Place and spend the rest of the afternoon exploring Gastown and Chinatown on foot, starting with a stop at the Vancouver Lookout. Gastown is Vancouver’s oldest neighborhood, and is home to plenty of boutique and brand name shops, cute cafes and charming architecture. Don’t miss the iconic Gastown Steam Clock, where pretty much every tourist has to take a photo (myself included). Continue wandering until you arrive in Chinatown."

"Halfway along Water Street, the oddly popular Steam Clock is a tourist magnet that lures the cameras with its tooting steam whistle. Built in 1977, the clock's mechanism is actually driven by electricity; only the pipes on top are steam fueled (reveal that to the patiently waiting tourists and you might cause a riot). It sounds every 15 minutes and marks each hour with little whistling symphonies."

"Photo: https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/2016/07/09/ history-of-metro-vancouver-city-hall-1936/. Since I live in Fairview, every time that I have to take the skytrain, I have to pass right in front of this marvelous Art Deco building that serves as city hall; its massive white structure is visible from all over Vancouver and it is still used today as the city’s council home. Located on 12th Avenue, the building was ordered by the Vancouver Civic Building Committee and designed by architect Fred Townley."

Your 1 Week Travel Plan For Things To See In And Around Vancouver
"Grouse Mountain is about 15-minutes after crossing Lions Gate Bridge. Head to the top of Grouse Mountain by cable car and you’ll be transformed into a snowy world of outdoor skating, snowshoeing, skiing and snowboarding. In summer, you’ll still find lots of snow, but it’s truly a hiker’s dream with a heap of trails, the Grouse Grind, and mountaintop trails of varying intensity that’ll suit most hikers."

"The Lion’s Gate Bridge is Vancouver’s most iconic bridge, and the best views of it are from Stanley Park. See it from the Prospect Point Lookout or walk a little bit down Stanley Park Drive to see it straight on like in the photo above!. Fun fact: the Guinness family (yes, the Irish brewing company) built the bridge in 1938!"

Best Almond Croissants in Greater Vancouver [GUIDE]
"The cool part about Faubourg's almond croissant is the almond paste appears baked right in unlike most of the entrants which have the croissant sliced open to have the almond paste lathered on. The top layer in this almond croissant was sparse, and though the rise was great, the shell thinned out quickly leading to little flakiness. For $5, this looked pretty small and left a lot to be desired relative to other places on this list."

"Melo is a newer entry on this list but they've sprung up as a viable option in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. This almond croissant features a good rise and a slight candied crunch to the top almond layer. The inside leaves much to be desired with only a smidgen of almond paste within."
