You step off the minivan at Canada Place and the inlet pushes a cool, briny breath into the city — seaplanes taxi like impatient birds and the harbour dares you to look farther than the skyline.

History
Vancouver grew rapidly in the late 19th century around steamship and rail terminals; Gastown retains the street grid and some Victorian-era storefronts tied to that era.
Conservation
High visitor numbers concentrate on the seawall and park; stick to marked paths, use refillable bottles, and support local markets that source regionally to reduce impact.
