Ah, our home ...or close, when we are there. We are living in Barbados now and miss the Fraser valley very much.
- Capilano Suspension bridge is very good in thast it gives some history as well as a close up of the rain forest.
- Historic Fort langley, 45 minutes up the valley, is valuable in that that is where the Gold Rush started and was the first capital of BC.
- Great little village and lots of history.
- Stanley Park and the Aquarium fill a relaxing day.
- Grouse Mountain gives an awesome view of the city and is also home to a Grizzly Bear project. Take the tram to the top for lunch or dinner.
- China Town is very cool - Vancouver has the largest population of Chinese in N.Amercia after oops.... I forget - I think San Fran???
** Have an umbrella on hand, it does rain there.

I live on Vancouver Island and I love it. There is so much stuff to do on the island you would need about 3 weeks just here. As for things to do in Van the aquarium is 1 spot you must see. there is alot of stuff to do in Granville Island also, it is downtown and a great place to shop with some exellent theater in the eve as well. The ride up Grouse mountain is a good time to as they have a restarant at the top. Also a short trip to see the lyn valley and Cap suspention bridges are very cool to. I hope this was some help.. Have a great trip.

Gastown has a very nice, old-fashioned feel to it. Grouse Mountain has great views, and the unusual public library is worth a look. Granville Island also has a nice, buzzing atmosphere and lots of shops and restaurants. You can take a boat back to the downtown. We also liked the big white hat-shaped Vancouver Museum. Exhibits on 'such and such a town in the 1950s' seem to be a staple of every other civic museum I've been to, but Vancouver's exhibit on the 50s was the best I've seen, as well as other galleries on the city's history. Revolving restaurants are fun and Vancouver has three of them.

You asked the most difficult question...a must see in Vancouver...well I'd have to say everything from Stanley Park to Grouse Mountain...or squeeze as much as possible in. Oh Gastown is pretty cool as well. Check out this site for everything Vancouver has to offer.

Stanley Park is a must see park. Very nice and relaxing park for the whole day. Also to mention a Aquarium park in Stanley Park.

Go for a circular trip on the monorail, but do it on a nice day, good appreciation of the city.
Can't remember which stop (central I think) the best sour cream donor kebab I've ever had.
Have a good time.
