Experience the iconic steam clock in Vancouver
Vancouver, Canada
Experience the famous steam clock in Vancouver’s historic Gastown – a technical masterpiece that lets off whistling steam every quarter of an hour.
What you can experience here
Right in the middle of historic Gastown it stands, steaming and whistling away: the famous steam clock. A true landmark of Vancouver and a fascinating relic from another time.
Every quarter of an hour the steam clock puts on a show with a loud whistle – powered by underground steam that otherwise heats the city’s buildings. Inside, it is an ingenious blend of Victorian mechanics and modern engineering. Surrounded by cobbled streets, charming cafés and old brick buildings, it is the perfect starting point for a walk through Gastown.
It’s best to come in the morning or early evening, when the light is ideal for photos and the streets are not yet too busy. Gastown is wonderful to explore on foot – take your time over a coffee in one of the cosy cafés or browse through the small boutiques.
