Canada Place, Vancouver BC – Things to See & Do, Hotels and Restaurants.
If there is one distinguishing landmark in Vancouver, Canada Place is it!
Originally built for EXPO 86, the combination hotel/convention center/cruise ship terminal shows up in at least half of all Vancouver postcards, and is the outstanding piece of architecture along the Vancouver waterfront.
A focal point of the downtown, and a meeting place for residents and tourists alike. Here you will find some great views - it's one of the best places to take pictures of the Mountains & North Vancouver (don't forget your camera!)
A walk to the north end of the building provides unobstructed views of Burrard Inlet, the North Shore Mountains, North and West Vancouver, and Stanley park. You'll see boats and ships, seagulls, the Seabus and floatplanes taking off. And behind you is downtown Vancouver, especially impressive at night with the city lights.
