Gastown, Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood, is the epicentre of the urban revolution. Designated a National Historic Site in 2009, Gastown was established the same year Canada became a nation. Block upon block of grand Victorian buildings hold memories of Gastown's reign as Canada's third-largest city and one of the most cosmopolitan. Today, these Old World aesthetics prove a glorious backdrop for today's urban lifestyle.

Gastown is one of Vancouver's most hip and distinctive shopping and lifestyle neighbourhoods with over 180 shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and clubs.  Gastown is the hub of creative talent,  independent businesses, award winning bars and restaurants and fashion forward boutiques. Few neighbourhoods offer such a complete Vancouver experience.
