  • Bouchard Gardens on Victoria
  • Gastown,Denman St.,Stanley Park,Commercial Drive,British Properties,Suspension Bridge,etc.
  • Have tea at the Empress Hotel.
  • Vancouver is a beautiful city although it rains a lot. http://www.vancouver-bc.com/thingstodo.html
  • Take the ferry up to the Galcier, sleep on deck on a chair and smell the water and tree's.
  • Long Day or Weekend Trips go to Whistler, a local ski resort town 3 hours away. On the way there or back, stop off at an oceanside park (Lighthouse?) for a great view of Howe sound. Also go hiking at Garibaldi park and Panorama ridge, or Black Tusk (slightly harder). You can also get helicopter (or even heli-ski) tours from Whistler or Vancouver. Take a ferry ride on a nice day to the Sunshine coast, one of the Gulf Islands, or even Vancouver Island. You can also get a cruise ship ferry from/to Seattle to/from the island, and this might be very scenic. There are also boat cruises of varying lengths, including one to the Queen Charlottes, another to Alaska, and many smaller ones. There is also a combination train/boat tour up the coast on the Royal Hudson/Queen Victoria --- you go by boat one way and train the other way. See the Vancouver Island/Victoria section at the end of the file for more detail on ferries. Go to the Okanagan Valley, especially during the Penticton Peach festival or Kelowna regatta, and sample the local fruit and wine and the best weather in Canada. Drive to Harrison Hot Springs. Drive to Manning park, especially during cross-country ski season. Go to Golden Ears Provincial Park. Many regional parks, such as Belcarra, Minnekhada, are also recommended. Visit Victoria and Vancouver Island, especially Long Beach Go whale watching (this might take longer), near Tofino and Uluwet? There may be excursions from Vancouver as well. This is seasonal. Hiking the West Coast Trail is also recommended (I haven't done it). While in Victoria, have tea at the Empress hotel, check out Harpo's for live music. The Royal Theatre is supposed to be nice, too. See the Vancouver Island/Victoria section at the end of this file for more detail on drives, walks, ferries, etc. There is much more to visit. Regards. (All Bookmarked now updated +4 for all)
  • Take the sea bus. Have a Bento Box for lunch or dinner. Walk around the city. Visit Chinatown. Get sprayed on by the steam clock in Gastown. Visit Victoria if you have time.
  • Whitsler/Black Mountain is a MUST! Home of the next winter olympics. It should be wonderful powder about now.
  • heroin on Hastings Street? Just kidding. I used to live there. Wander around Kitsilano and down Jericho beach before sunset. Commercial drive used to be nice, but not sure now. Go to Wreck Beach and get naked!!!
  • Maybe you would need a place to stay whilst you are there, check out http://www.adventvancouver.com for furnished rentals, they have great hotel alternatives! You should definitely have a trip up to Whistler for a day or two and go on the Peak to Peak Gondola from Blackcomb Mountain to Whistler mountain, its incredible. Check out Stanley Park in Vancouver too, have a walk around the sea wall.
