Vancouver is definitely a city worth visiting. A wide harbor, mountains rising in the background, it has the makings of a great tourist destination. I recently visited the city for a conference, not for the first time, and this time around I allowed myself visits to some of the local sights and attractions.
To get a good feel for the city, it’s best to climb up high and get some panoramic views, and so being on a lookout from the conference center downtown I spotted a tall pointy-looking building and Google Maps verified that there was an observation deck on top. So, up I went to see Vancouver from above.
The nicest direction, ofcourse, is the harbor…
If you go anywhere but north, you’ll see the urban side of Vancouver, which has seen a fair number of skyscrapers built since I last visited…
And as you might notice, there are a few more in construction…
The elevator going up is transparent, giving the ride an extra twist…

A nice way, even if a bit pricey, to kick off the visit to Vancouver.
