You have the option to travel in two different types of cars. The first, although more economical, will not disappoint you, since through its large panoramic windows located on the sides you will be able to contemplate all the wonders along the way. But if you want to live the experience with total intensity, you can choose other cars of higher category, whose upper structure is also made of glass.
Located in the heart of the city, you can not miss the Vancouver Lookout, a lookout tower that was inaugurated in 1977 by Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon. The tower’s glass elevators take 40 seconds to travel the 130 meters that separate the ground level from the lookout. Once at the top, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of downtown and the surrounding area.
Most of the sights are easily accessible from downtown hotels. Gastown, named after the city’s founder, will introduce you to a neighborhood that is now a favorite tourist spot, with all kinds of restaurants, bars, clothing and craft stores, art galleries, and the Old Steam Clock.

To discover Canada on the Trans-Canada Railway you can choose between 4 routes: The Great Western Way, The Adventures Routes, The Maritime Way and Ontario and Quebec. These routes cross the country in all directions and allow access to remote places with great tourist attractions. Today we present each of these routes and some tips to enjoy your trip in a safe and pleasant way.
While crossing the Canadian Shield, a two-hour stop is made in Winnipeg, a quiet city where the Financial District, an emblematic place of the city, is located. The Exchange District, by its English name, is located over an area of 20 streets. This place preserves a collection of buildings dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These buildings, constructed of terracotta and quarry, were home to banks and department stores that made the city flourish and made it one of the most influential in the country at that time. Today these buildings are still intact, and it is fascinating to walk through each of them and eat at one of the restaurants in the Financial District!
