Downtown Vancouver

The commercial center of Vancouver, British Columbia — known as the “Downtown Peninsula” — extends like a thumb into the Strait of Georgia, which leads to the broader Pacific Ocean. This area contains most of the city’s remaining historic buildings and nearly all of its tallest skyscrapers and residential towers. Downtown Vancouver houses about 62,000 people, while the Greater Vancouver area has a population of 2.6 million, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada.
