    The greatest attraction was a Steam Clock (Gas Town). You just go and see this Clock (also visit the Irish pub down the raofd nice food!).

    Tourist Trap Warning!!! That said it makes for a fun walk with lots of people, shops, and outdoor cafes so it is defiantly worth the time to see. Watch out how for you stroll out of Gastown, we turned a corner and there were a lot of homeless in the area.

    Water Street is the place to go for buzzin' atmosphere. Bars and cafes are in abundance.
    No visit to Gas Twon would be complete without the obligatory visit to the steam clock. One word of warning, avoid the area on the hour as everyone wants to film the clock as it "chimes". Problem is, that there is no real point in seeing it at any other time.

    While in Gastown, check out the steam clock at Cambie and Water Streets. An underground network of steam pipes are used to make the clock whistle on the hour.
