The 6 Best Sights & Landmarks in Strathcona, Canada

December 25, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

The Amtrack was a relaxing commute for an overnight trip to Vancouver to watch the Oilers and Canucks game. The train was an easy walk to our hotel and near Chinatown, lots of good food and shops.
