Watch the Steam Clock in Action
The steam clock is an iconic landmark and should be on everyone’s list of things to see in Gastown on your first visit to Vancouver. It’s one of the few steam clocks left in the world, making it one of the most popular Gastown tourist destinations. Built in 1977, this electric antique-style whistles every 15 minutes to tell the clock. That isn’t all; the clock also blows off steam from its five whistles every hour. The famous steam clock is at Water Street, and it is said that 12 pm is the best time to watch the clock in action.
