Gastown luggage storage

Why use Gastown luggage storage?

Vancouver’s most popular destination for out-of-towners is sandwiched between the waterfront and downtown, known as the delightful Gastown. It’s the most historic area of Vancouver, and exploring its fascinating history is as enjoyable as its Victorian architecture, gas-powered lamp posts, and the iconic Steam Clock (yep, that’s a thing). It’s a retail wonderland, especially Water Street, lined with both upscale boutiques and novelty shops shamelessly appealing to tourists. 

It’s well-situated near the city’s skyscrapers and waterfront, making the panoramic views from the Vancouver Lookout all the more delightful. The neighborhood comes alive at night as Gastown is among Vancouver’s top destinations for dining and nightlife as well. Major attractions like the Vancouver Aquarium and Rogers Arena are also within walking distance, so it's easy to incorporate a stroll through Gastown into almost any itinerary. 

You'll want to be walking around this neighborhood so finding a place to store any excess baggage is ideal. That's where Bounce luggage storage locations can help, especially on travel days or when you're in Vancouver for a cruise. 

Getting around Gastown 

Gastown is essentially close to every major transit facility, which explains its popularity with tourists and especially cruise passengers. You'll be able to reach Gastown by all major forms of public transit and even on foot. What you won't want to do is walk around all day with your bags so funding reliable luggage storage nearby is essential. 

How to get to Gastown from the cruise ship terminal 

Vancouver’s Cruise Ship Terminal and Conventions Centre, locally known as Canada Place, is where major cruise ships depart on their way from Alaska, the West Coast, Hawaii, and other destinations. It's a short walk to Gastown, which explains why there are so many crowds of passengers exploring the neighborhood. Many of these travelers end up using flexible luggage storage through Bounce while they're exploring.
