Robson Square
- Address: Bordered by Howe, Hornby, Robson, and Smithe Sts., Downtown, Vancouver, BC | Map It
Fodor's Review:
Architect Arthur Erickson designed this plaza, completed in 1979, to be the gathering place of downtown Vancouver. Landscaped walkways connect the Vancouver Art Gallery, government offices, and law courts, and a University of British Columbia satellite campus and bookstore occupy the level below the street. Political protests and impromptu demonstrations take place on the grandiose gallery stairs facing Georgia Street, a tradition that dates from the days when the building was a courthouse. Beside the fountain is the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Countdown clock.
