Iconic and charming! The Gastown Steam Clock is a nice little stop with great photo ops. The steam and whistles every 15 minutes add a nice historic touch. Worth a quick visit if you're in the area
Gastown, Vancouver's historic heart, is a must-explore! The cobblestone streets and the iconic Steam Clock, its main attraction, create a unique atmosphere. You'll find a great mix of restaurants, from cozy pubs to trendy spots. Easy downtown access makes it perfect for a stroll. The area's rich history, evident in its architecture, makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. It's a lively spot with a cool, historic vibe – definitely worth a visit!
Wow, such a cool steam clock. When we walked up on the hour it was playing music and the steam was flowing. A really fun little area to see in Vancouver. The lights on the buildings give a unique backdrop in the evenings.
If you’re planning to visit the amazing Steam Clock, make sure to be there right on the hour—like 9:00, 10:00, or later. Why? Because at the stroke of each hour, the clock whistles the corresponding number of times—10 times at 10:00, 11 times at 11:00, and so on.nnIt’s a unique experience you won’t want to miss! For the best vibe, I recommend visiting at 9:00 PM or later—it’s absolutely worth it.
The Gastown Steam Clock is one of Vancouver's most famous landmarks and a must-see when visiting the historic Gastown district. Built in 1977, this unique clock combines steam power and electric mechanisms to operate. Every 15 minutes, it chimes with a melody powered by steam whistles, and on the hour, it releases an impressive puff of steam from its top. Beyond its mechanical charm, the clock represents a piece of Vancouver's history and cultural allure. Don't forget to snap a photo when you visit!
