To enjoy Stanley Park to its fullest, rent a bike or inline skates at Bayshore Bike Rental, located very close to the park at 745 Denman Street (Between Robson and Alberni Streets on the west side). 604.688.2453 (688-BIKE. http://www.bayshorebikerentals.ca/ In fact, biking is a great way to see all of Vancouver. You might want to bring a good rain jacket, but don't let a light rain discourage you.

Must see: Chinatown. Supposedly biggest one in North America.

Could be better. Try to get what you can out of it.

The Lonsdale Quay Hotel ‎ is absolutely fantastic. I never need much from hotels myself, just a nice room. But it's got decent views of the harbour depending on the position of your room. But moreso, it's situated on the 3rd floor of a nice little mall with food on 1st and shopping on 2nd. Plus the big kicker is that the sea bus is right next door, easy access to downtown without going over that horribly congested 3 lane Lions Gate Bridge.

If you visit Vancouver plan at least half a day for walking through Stanley Park and see the Totem Poles and enjoy the great views!!!

Some of the friendliest people on the face of this Earth live here! Found this out when I broke down and was rescued by a very nice family, who just happened to know how to weld my trailer axle!!! They even bought me dinner!!!!

A big city with many sides. Lots of restraunts and places to party. However there is a LARGE homeless problem which is very visable.

For the weed smoking hippie traveler, seriously. Outside of Amsterdam, you really couldn't ask for a better city. Keep that in mind!

go 2 the beach in Summer! i recommend kits beach, 2nd beach 'n jerico beach!!

To stay at hotels near Robson street, or the Stanely Park, it's very nice there.
