The rain was pouring down but it was still enjoyable walking around Gastown, such a contrast from the high rise buildings surrounding the area.

Vancouver is nicknamed ‘Hollywood North’, and with good reason. Movies and TV shows regularly use the west coast Canadian city to stand in for other locations.

Gastown’s brick buildings, vintage street lamps and cobblestone streets allow it to be transformed easily into many places from around the world, including New York City, London and Seattle.

The Marine Building was once the tallest building in the British Empire. Today, it’s renowned for its unique design outside and Art Deco details inside.
