A Vegetarian Staple in Vancouver. Open 24 hours a day for late night cravings. Often there will be live music. Often there will be a long wait. Really chill vibe and atmosphere and consequently, very slow service so don't come here in a hurry... but come here :)

Decent restaurants and high-end shopping. Yuppie part of town.
Very pretty and very large public place to stop for a break and grab some street food during the summer. I would consider this the very heart of Vancouver. It is located right next to Pacific Center Shopping Mall, Robson Street Shopping, The Vancouver Art Gallery, Granville St. Skytrain, the Vancouver Law Courts and more.

Parks & Nature
Go explore Stanley Park. The Jewel of Vancouver. I'd recommend riding your bicycle all the way around the sea wall. There's always lots going on here - outdoor festivals and recreational activities like biking and going to the Aquarium. If you're here in July be sure to go to the "Fresh Air Cinema" at 2nd Beach. Here's more info. http://www.freshaircinema.ca/summercinema/movies.html

Awesome beach! (Clothing optional!) Bring water and food with you because you might want to stay here all day.. Also be prepared for a big staircase up/down. Also bring cash so you can buy food on the beach! Drinking is not technically legal in public spaces in Vancouver but lots of people sell beers on the beach too. Just keep it hidden and you'll be fine.

If you're feeling into a night of Asian street food, cheap knickknacks, pointless shopping, hokey entertainment and possible gambling at the casino next door. Who wouldn't be? Actually it's a good place to go when you're sick of seeing how pretty Vancouver is and just need something ugly to look at. haha.

If you plan on making a trip to Victoria, check out Harbour Air's website. https://www.harbourair.com/book-a-flight/routes-schedules/
Sometimes they have great seat sales and I've been able to fly from Downtown Vancouver to Downtown Victoria for cheaper than the cost of catching the ferry which takes 4 hours. Plus you get a pretty great view!
