Alberni Street

Located 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver, this year round destination offers a skyride tram which, on a clear day, looks back onto the extraordinary beauty of Vancouver. Enjoy downhill skiing, snowshoeing and sleigh rides in the winter or join an interpretive hike, a lumberjack competition, or try paragliding in the summer.

Vancouver's first downtown core, Gastown is known for its Victorian architecture, quaint cobblestone streets, and the world's first steam-powered clock. Gastown is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, including art galleries, live music venues, and fashion boutiques. The neighborhood is also popular for its nightlife, with a number of bars and nightclubs that stay open late into the night.
