Gastown, Vancouver, BC
Description:
Vancouver's #1 Tourist Trap. Don't let this keep you away, just temper your expectations. A couple hours is more than enough to stroll the cobblestone streets and peek into the mix of shops from tacky souvenirs to First Nations artwork. The steam clock will mesmerize youngsters - just don't let the cat out of the bag about how the clock really works (not actually by steam - sorry!). Keep in mind that shops start closing around 4pm. Enjoy a decent meal and soak up the Victorian ambience. Then skidaddle this tourist trap to see the authentic Vancouver.
