SEE IT ALL FROM HERE

Your Vancouver sightseeing experience must include a visit to the Vancouver Lookout! Where else can you enjoy a 360-degree view of Vancouver, 168 meters (553 feet) above the vibrant downtown core?

The Vancouver Lookout is located at the top of one of Vancouver's iconic landmarks, Harbour Centre. Located in the Heritage District of Vancouver, the Vancouver Lookout has been a staple of Vancouver’s skyline since 1977. Access the 360º view of Vancouver with a 40-second glass elevator ride, whisking you skyward.

Once you are on the deck of the Vancouver Lookout, we encourage you to take your time and learn about this vibrant city with Information panels located throughout the deck with fascinating facts about Vancouver’s history & infrastructure. We offer a complimentary self-guided audio tour and free WIFI is available.

This is truly a unique spot to soak in views of the ever-changing skyline of downtown Vancouver, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
