Shopping

I think there's great clothes shopping in downtown Vancouver,at Pacific Centre Mall. Also good shopping at Granville Island and the nearby 4th Avenue in Kitsilano. Brentwood Mall is also good for shopping and is close by.

Food Scene

So many fabulous restaurants in the Vancouver area! A foodie’s delight!
I like this restaurant as it is different, it is Lebanese food, it has a good vibe, some vegetarian dishes, and it is not super expensive.

Great casual place to eat, have a drink and take in some sports entertainment. Probably the least expensive place to eat around here, with quite a good menu and great tasting.

Parks & Nature

Fantastic parks and natural areas to explore!
A great place in North Vancouver to hike trails in coastal forests and cross the (free) suspension bridge. Scenic water falls in Lynn Creek. Can start the trails at the Ecological Centre and go on a loop back.

Great bike routes through the City, the Trans Canada Trail, where you can ride to Vancouver, SFU and other parts of the City. Many areas go through forested areas and there are several points where you get glimpses of the view of the waters of Burrard Inlet.
