Travel Info Any good tourist attractions in Vancouver, Canada? Travel Tips Gastown - historical area of downtown Vancouver, basically Vancouver's first downtown core. Gastown is a mix of tourist-oriented business (generally restricted to Water Street), restaurants, nightclubs, poverty and newly-upscale housing. In addition, there are law firms, architects and other professional offices, as well as computer and internet businesses, art galleries, music and art studios, and acting and film schools. Gastown's most famous (though nowhere near oldest) landmark is its steam-powered clock, located on the corner of Cambie and Water Street. Chinatown is nearby as well. Granville Island - major tourist destination, providing amenities such as a public market, a large marina, the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (named in honour of the artist), various theatres including one run by The Arts Club Theatre, and various shopping areas. Museum of Anthropology at University of British Columbia Science World - http://www.scienceworld.bc.ca Vancouver Aquarium - http://www.vanaqua.org/ Stanley Park - a 404.9 hectare,urban park bordering downtown Vancouver.
