Although the city has a long history, there are few historical landmarks in Vancouver as such. Among them we can name the old quarter of the city, Gastown, which used to house a sawmill and the first houses of its workers. Also worthy of attention is the cathedral of the Anglican Church of Canada. This stone building, which today is surrounded by skyscrapers, was built on July 28, 1894 and has undergone several stages of reconstruction.
The Vancouver Sightseeing Map will point the way to the Vancouver Art Gallery, which was built back in 1931. Today, it is considered one of the five largest art museums in Canada. History buffs should definitely check out the Anthropology Museum, and maritime enthusiasts should check out the Vancouver Maritime Museum, built in 1959.
Another interesting museum where a Vancouver sightseeing map will lead you is the Vancouver Museum, founded in 1894. It features exhibits from which you can trace the history of the city, as well as interesting artifacts from around the world. The building of this museum houses the Macmillan Space Center, which no description of Vancouver attractions can do without. It features a laser show and many interactive space programs.
Another museum that any guide to Vancouver attractions with names will point to is the Science World Center. Even from the outside, it attracts tourists with its unusual spherical shape with a dinosaur silhouette on top. It is located next to another notable place - Creekside Park.
But it's not the only park in the city. If you come across a Russian-language map of Vancouver's attractions, you'll find Capilano Park, Queen Elizabeth Botanical Park and the famous Stanley Park, which dates back to 1888.
Take a bird's eye view of Vancouver's sights at the Harbour Center Tower. It is a huge skyscraper 177 meters high, with an observation deck on the roof. A high-speed transparent elevator takes only 50 seconds to get there.
