"Vancouver's most romantic old-school tower block, and also its best art-deco building, the elegant 22-story Marine Building is a tribute to the city's maritime past. Check out its elaborate exterior of seahorses, lobsters and streamlined steamships, and then nip into the lobby, which is like a walk-through artwork. Stained-glass panels and a polished floor inlaid with signs of the zodiac await."

"Photo: https://forbiddenvancouver.ca   /2018/05/18/the-marine-building/. I consider the Marine Building to be one of the most exquisite examples of Art Deco today. This 22-storey construction is considered by many to be one of the most well-preserved and significant edifices from the 1920s."

"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."

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."

Having earned themselves quite the reputation for housing a staggering array of baked goods, it should come as no surprise that Purebread offers an incredibly decadent and delicious chocolate chip cookie ($3).

10 Best Ice Cream Shops In Vancouver That You Gotta Hit Up
"When it comes to Passione, you get the vibe of a small neighbourhood gelateria with its tiny storefront, generous portions and the oh-so-friendly & soft-spoken Italian owner (Salvatore Boccoarossa) serving you behind the counter. But then you add in the expertise and international accolades of Salvatore (graduate of Carpigiani Gelato University and winner of the Grand Title of North America Champions) and the unrelenting focus on only using fresh organic seasonal ingredients…. You get Passione Gelato in its entirety."

Where to Find the Best Frozen Treats in Vancouver Right Now
"Often hailed as the best gelato spot in the city, Passione Gelato uses the best ingredients to make small-batch handcrafted gelato. One lick of its mango flavour will seem like you’re eating an actual Thai mango, and its pistachio flavour has an outstanding nutty taste. But a standout is its durian flavour: almost an exact replica of the spiky Southeast Asian fruit that harnesses a unique smell (some might say a potent stench) but comes with a deliciously sweet and creamy taste."
