Things not to be missed:
Stanley Park- Bike the Seawall and check out the aquarium.
Capilano Regional park- Check out the dam and hike a bit. I suggest you don't go to the suspension bridge because there's one that doesn't require admission in Lynn Valley.
Grouse Mountain
Science World

Tours are expensive, but they are the best way to get an overall view of a city.
If you have a car and a budget you'll need to see Gastown and Robson St, then get away from the city a bit and see Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge (simular to Capilano Suspension bridge but smaller and free), Cypress Bowl or Mt. Seymour for the (free) views and then out to Westham Island, near Ladner, BC, to the Reifiel bird sanctuary ($4).

In addition to other places listed go to the Anthropology Museum at UBC. Great building, fine exhibits, and outstanding views of the city and surroundings.

If you have a free day and a car, drive to Whistler for lunch and perhaps a hike. The drive (except for the stretches with road construction) up Howe Sound and then into the mountains is one of the best urban day trips anywhere. Whistler has shops and restaurants, and hiking in the nearby Garibaldi Prov. Park is outstanding.

You should go to the seawall, it's by Stanley Park (i think...) and it's really pretty.

here are some tips and suggestions:

go to Stanley Park!!!
you can hike, bike, just lay down on the grass, have picnic and basically, do just about anything there!!!!
the place is truly AMAZING!!!

There's the Brockton Point Lighthouse, Totem Poles and Prospect Point, where you could have a great view of the Lions Gate Bridge and Grouse Mountain from the top of Prospect Point.

You might also want to consider going to Cypress Mountain and watch the beautiful sunset from there. It's only 30 minutes away from the heart of downtown Vancouver.
It also offers one of the best ski resorts in town!!!

It'll aslo be fun to visit Gastown's Historical Steamclock, which was designed and built by Ray Saunders in 1977. It belches steam and hoots out the famous Westminster chimes "Big Ben" theme!!! i love it!!!

you could also spend a perfect day at Granville Island.
Granville Island lies below the Granville Street bridge. The public market has everything you need and the island also offers lots of places to dine.

You could also bring your dog and jog on the beach of Vancouver Downtown.
the beach is not good for swimming but it's really nice to see in Downtown.

You should also dine at THE EATERY... The Funkiest place for Japanese food indeed!
hehehe yum yum!!!

Walk around the structure of Canada Place to get a good panoramic view of the city!!!
fantastic!!!

Don't miss the Capilano Suspension bridge too!!!
It is said to be Vancouver's oldest tourist attraction, which was originally built in 1889.
It stretches 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above the Capilano River.

Go and visit the Lighthouse Park too, if you have more time.
It contains the largest uncut, coastal-elevation trees in the Lower Mainland, which a spectacular view!!! This is within a 10-minute walk of the parking lot.

Also, ride a ferry going to Victoria Island to complete your Vancouver experience!
It is said to be the vacation capital of Canada.

Go to the Parliament building to have a good view of marina; then, have a tea break at the Fairmont Empress Hotel.It is one of Victoria's highlights, with its true British tradition and atmosphere!!!

Before going back to the city, have a soup and salad at Pagliacci's, which is very popular to the locals for is great pasta, desserts, and wonderful ambiance!!!
