In less than a century, Vancouver’s first luxury neighbourhood has seen many changes. From estate homes, to boarding houses and back again, this area is now one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in Canada. Walk through a diverse mix of historic buildings and explore architectural influences that have shaped this area through the decades. From Queen Annestyle homes, to 70s style post-modern residential high rises, this tour has it all. The West End is truly a Vancouver experience full of great stories and beautiful scenery.
