Any ideas?

My apartment.  
Haha ha ha.
Sorry.
Just for Laugh

One of the things I show people when they first visit Vancouver is the city at night from Cypress lookout. A few other options are Stanley Park, Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge, or, if you're into a more commercial version, Capilano Suspension Bridge.

I 2nd Gastown, also upper Main street & Queen Elizabeth Park

Scrolling down and visiting the Best of Vancouver pages. Treasure trove.

Commercial Drive then Metrotown. Just for shock value.

Grouse mountain. English bay. Vanier park. Coal harbor (where the cauldron is). Downtown. UBC. Granville st. Gastown. Yaletown... Just to name a few

Thanks all this will surely help :-)

Phil, why would you want her to waste $$$? lol

what are the best sports bars?

Follow the tourist hordes and Be Happy!

Granville island has lot of activities,  and also check foody fridays for food trucks around.

Food sounds good!!

The quay is pretty cool! Stanley park is also an awesome place!

You mentioned you were visiting soon so you'll probably have some good weather.  (hopefully)
I second Gastown, Granville Island and Stanley Park.  If the weather is warm enough, visit Kits Beach for some relaxing beach time.

Main & Hastings, if you like a nice brisk walk.

Bike the sea wall... It is a MUST!

Lynn canyon suspension bridge and a nice hike, gorgeous!

Driving the sea to sky highway to Squamish for breakfast and back.... Or make it a day trip to Whistler on a sunny day the peak to peak is breathtaking!

For the downtown experience the fairmont pacific rim lobby early evening is stunning, joe fortes chop house is a Vancouver institution (get the seafood tower), gas town has an abunce of super cool spots for cocktails and dinner, in Chinatown hit the keefer bar for a rad burlesque show on Thursday nights... Go early!

Thanks for all the insights hope I can get it all done.

Hey Kelly! We did a roundup awhile ago, but most of it is still relevant... hope you have an awesome time! (plus, all of the above are excellent suggestions)

These are my top "to do"
West End/Seawall walk from English Bay around Stanley Park - for nature/people watching
Main St (King Edward to Broadway) - for shopping, cool restos
Granville Isl - food, people watching, awesomeness
Cypress Mtn/Hollyburn - for nature/hike/snowshoe or Lynn Canyon for easier walk
Gastown - walking/historic/food/cool shops
Trout Lake Farmers Market - saturday - gret food, local products

Thank you, thank you. I need more money :-)

Well the beauty of Van is you don't need a lot of money! All the options i mentioned are awesome just for walking, grabbing a cappucino etc. Have fun! Hopefully the weather gods are with you!
