I've lumped 'em together in areas of close proximity (but in no specific order otherwise)
1. Chinatown / Gastown / Sun yat Sen Gardens- there's a Chinatown night market on Keefer in Chinatown that's neat, Gastown's the "old town" they have a big musuem/ amusement park underground there as well as lots of tourist shops. There are some great boutiques in the area and on Cordova st.
2. North Shore, either Grouse Mtn or Capilano or Lynn Canyon (amazing views, mountains, etc)
3. Granville Island, (public market, artisans) Kits Beach, ("beautiful people") Vancouver Musuem, Maritime Museum
4. Stanley Park, Aquarium, 2nd / 3rd beach (a massive urban park, great beaches, amazing aquarium w. whales, fish, Amazon jungle)
5. Commercial Drive - hippies, stoners, dykes, Italians, Portugese and yuppies all mixed together.. good shopping and eats
6. English Bay / West end - gaybourhood, lots shopping eating, great sunset spot
7. Downtown / Robson St - Robsons got lots of shopping, and all the chi chi stores (on or around Robson like BetsyJohnson, Bebe, Chanel, Armani, Fila, Levis, Zara, etc etc)
8. UBC / Wreck Beach - UBC is the big university and has a spectacular native art mueum (Museum of Anthrolopolgy) and an impresive Japanese Garden (Nitobe).. for a walk on the wild side hike down the trails to Wreck Beach - which is the nudist beach -you can buy everythign from pre-rolled joints, to Margaritas to fresh food and enjoy an amazing view of the water and islands.
There is also a few open air tourist buses that can take you around many of these spots - it mightn't be a bad idea to look into - great way to get your bearings.

Ignore those other people! Vancouver is really a cool place and I'm planning my next trip there now.
I'm going to spend some time in the Punjabi Market, I spend a lot of time in China Town. There is grouse mountain, capilano suspension bridge, nature hikes, great camping, friendly people. Being a big city there are a lot of designer shops and great boutiques. Robson street has a lot of good shopping. I can't remember the name of the bookstore, but it's three stories and near robson street. Stanley park is really nice and you can rent bicycles or tandems at shops nearby. I hope that helps.

canada is the most boring place in the world. if you must go then a suggest a "romantic" moose ride. the canadians seem to think this a fun and romantic. you must also always wear flannel and have a mullet. if not you will be made fun of and called a tourist.
