Lonely Planet review

Built for Expo '86, this iconic, postcard-friendly landmark is shaped like a series of sails that jut into the sky over the harbor. Now a cruise-ship terminal and convention center (a large convention-center expansion will open on the building's west side before the Olympics), it's also a pier where you can stroll out over the waterfront, watch the splashing floatplanes and catch some spectacular sea-to-mountain views.

If it's raining, duck inside for the CN IMAX Theatre and the Port Authority Interpretation Centre, a hands-on, kid-friendly showcase illuminating the city's maritime trade.
