What to do and see in Yaletown & False Creek North, Canada: The Best Things to do
Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

This small spa contains three pedicure stations and one treatment room. I had a very good pedicure experience here. The staff are welcoming and very friendly. I had the $50 regular pedicure, which is a good value and left my feet feeling and looking great. They are careful with the polish and do an undercoat, two coats of colour and a top coat. There are often Groupons available, and they accept the Wayspa gift cards that you can get at Costco ($80 for $100 worth of treatment). Would certainly go back.

Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre is located in Yaletown on Pacific Blvd between Davie and Drake. Open 7 days a week (except statutory holidays) and always hopping: courses and programs for all ages, a black box theatre, galleries, an exhibition hall, and the restored historic steam engine, Engine 374.

This locomotive is a beautiful example of the steam age. Being located at the roundhouse was smart thinking by the creators of the exhibit as this is the old turntable for the railway. The roundhouse is fairly central and just near the hop-on hop-off bus stop The train was the first scheduled train to cross Canada from sea to sea. The locomotive was donated to the City of Vancouver as a memento.In fact it is such a beautiful attraction it should really merit its own TripAdvisor listing in my opinion. I visited 374 the day before heading off on the Rocky Mountaineer and was a nice substitute as I was still kicking myself for missing the railway museum at Squamish that I had been so near the day before without realising. Run by very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and very friendly volunteers, this is a great place to visit and to see a loco close up. It is free to see and you can climb on board. I happily made a (very optional - no pressure to do so) donation on the day to support the friendly and informative team who are all volunteers and just passionate about their train and Canada's railway history.

We were fortunate enough to attend the HSBC World Series of Rugby at the BC Place Stadium. The event was outstanding and a pleasant mixture of sport and festival. It was like attending the World Cup and Mardi Gras in one weekend.
