Robson Square — Attraction in Vancouver

Robson Square is right in the heart of downtown Vancouver, which is metaphoricaly exactly where it belongs. Robson Square sits between the Provincial Court House and the Vancouver Art Gallery.  The space has multiple levels, mulitiple water falls, and a surprising amount of greenery in the overall design.  Basically it’s an urban park with stunning architecture.

The biggest feature of Robson Square is it’s reputation as the go-to place for every protest or public demonstration in Vancouver.  Everyone in Vancouver gathers here, or on the North Plaza in front of the Art Gallery, and vents their frustrations with the world.  Which is a very important aspect of a healthy democracy.  I didn’t include any pictures of the protests, but the fact that Robson Square plays this role in Vancouver makes it one of the most important spaces in Vancouver.  People need a public place to express themselves and for Vancouver it’s Robson Square and the North Plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

I’ve actually never been inside the Vancouver Art Gallery but the building is quite beautiful and what it represents is very important.  Culture is built with creativity and the Vancouver Art Gallery is a great metaphor for this fact.  If you want your city to have culture, you need to have a vibrant art scene.

Lots of artists and entrepreneurs come to Robson Square to sell their wares, play their music, take pictures, make videos, etc.  Having this free public location for artists to practice their craft is very important because real estate in Vancouver is very expensive.  There’s also a skating rink on the lower floor that doubles as a multi-functional space in the summer months for things like dancing.  There’s lots of dancing and music in Robson Square.

On the quieter days Robson Square is also a good place to go just to sit and have your lunch or read a book.  There are many nooks and crannies to be found in Robson Square that you can find to just get away from it all.  Especially if you’re willing to climb the stairs that lead up to the Court House.  The view from up there is quite nice.  Especially at night, when all the lights of the city come on.

I’ve taken about a million pictures of Robson Square and the ones I included here are just a few I took lately.  It’s an amazing space to be in if you’re a street photographer.  Ultimately, Robson Square is about people.  This is what makes the space come alive.  It was built for people, not trees or water or architecture.  If you want to celebrate people, come and visist Robson Square.  They are the biggest attraction that it...

I recently attended a conference at Robson Square, located within the UBC Robson Square premises in downtown Vancouver, and I was thoroughly impressed with the venue. The building is a true architectural gem, featuring a sleek, modern design combined with stunning open spaces. The location itself is perfect — centrally situated in the heart of downtown Vancouver, making it easily accessible for attendees.

The facilities are top-notch, with spacious conference rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The environment is both professional and welcoming, offering a productive atmosphere for events of all sizes. One of the highlights for me was the natural light that floods the building, giving it a bright and airy feel, which makes a big difference for long conference days.

Additionally, Robson Square’s proximity to nearby shops, restaurants, and attractions is a major plus for attendees looking to explore during breaks. The building also features a beautiful outdoor plaza, which is perfect for enjoying the views or taking a walk around the vibrant city center.

Overall, I had an excellent experience at Robson Square and would highly recommend it as a conference venue. The location, facilities, and atmosphere made for a fantastic event. I look forward to attending another event here...
