Vancouver things to do

Grouse Mountain has some great views of the city. Stanley Park is also a great place to relax and waste some time. The part of the city called Gastown had some nice restaurants.

I was there in the late fall, not sure exactly how the city is in the summer.

Let's hope you have better weather than when I visited. Started raining once we landed and did not stop until we flew out four days later. We had a dinner meeting on top of one of those mountains. So much fog you could not see a damn thing.

Have sushi. And oysters. And salmon. Basically, the seafood kicks ass.

As far as things to do in town, I was only in Vancouver for a day or so before driving up to Whistler to ski, so I don't have any suggestions. The 'sea to sky highway' was a pretty epic drive, however.

It was in '01, so I think it would've been before the Olympic improvements...so, old road I guess?

I would imagine Vancouver and much spiffier in the aftermath of last winter's Olympics than it was when I visited 9 years ago.

they reinforced parts, added a few passing areas, etc.

it is probably the most scenic road i have been on. better than the pacific coast highway or road to the sky in glacier. skiing in pissler is nice, but probably overrated...

If you have enough time take the ferry to victoria and see the British Columbia History Museum. A very fascinating, modern museum.

victoria is a nice place. same with kelowna. bc has a pretty nice wine country, not as crowded as say napa/sonoma. but not as renowned either.

gastown as mentioned has a lot of nice places to eat if that is your thing.

as bus said drugs are big, you can find a few places down by gm that will aid you in doping so you dont od...

there are a lot of pretty scenic drives. its def different than central ohio if you are just want to see terrain, water, oceans, etc

:lol: We had good snow at the very top of the mountain and it transitioned to rain by the time we were at the base.

Stanley Park is great. I rented a bike and did a circuit with lots of stops.

Granville Island was also worth the visit.

Good aquarium as well if you enjoy aquariums. Not the best I have seen.

Only there one day and with no car so I can't vouch for the other sites.
