Harbour Centre, a notable skyscraper in the heart of Vancouver, was completed in 1977 and houses the Vancouver Lookout, providing breathtaking 360-degree views of the city. Visitors can ascend 168 meters in just 40 seconds via glass elevators. Once the site of a Simpsons-Sears department store, Harbour Centre later became a hub for tech companies during the dot-com boom. It stands as a cultural icon, demonstrating Modernist architecture and attracting many tourists. Open throughout the year, with variable hours, admission fees are applicable. The location is well-served by public transport, adjacent to Waterfront Station.
