Downtown Vancouver
At
the heart of the downtown area is the crowning jewel to the
area’s revitalization efforts, Esther Short Park, where summer
outdoor concerts, festivals, and a year round Farmers’ Market
make it a hot spot for visitors and residents alike.
As
the oldest city in the state, Vancouver also enjoys a rich
history, centered around the first settlement to the area, Fort
Vancouver. This history provides visitors many unique
attractions such as Fort Vancouver National Historic Site,
Officers Row, and Pearson Air Museum to name a few.
With so much here, there is something fun for everyone!
Shopping:
There’s plenty of shopping to do in downtown and throughout
Vancouver. Try Main Street, Uptown Village, Heritage Place, or
Farmers’ Market at Esther Short Park. Take a stroll along the
Columbia River, and check out the shops near Beaches and
McMenamins restaurants.
Dining:
Downtown Vancouver offers incredible dining experiences along
the waterfront overlooking the Columbia River, as well as in the
fabulous historic district. Visitors will find an abundance of
fine establishments. Gray’s at the Park inside the Hilton Hotel
