Very cool city
by DesolationAngels
Burrard Inlet is pretty impressive. The whole waterfront area in Vancouver is amazing - the cruise ships getting ready to go to Alaska, the mountains across the water, the downtown core - it's all very cool.
The nightlife in Vancouver is second to none in western Canada, as well. All of my memories of Vancouver were destroyed by Canadian beer. No, not really - the entire trip was enjoyable except for trying to get back into the United States - the guy in the booth at the border was a real dick - make sure that you have the correct paperwork to get back into the States. They're much more lax about it on the east coast versus the west coast.

Touristinfo Centre.
by worldkiwi
One of the first places you should call into in downtown Vancouver, on the waterfront, is the Tourism Vancouver Touristinfo Centre, pictured here. The friendly and helpful staff here can book things for you and offer good advice. I booked and paid for my coach-ferry ticket to Victoria from here. There is also a commission free foreign exchange here called Custom House.
Lions Gate Bridge
by meteorologist1
The Lions Gate Bridge is a huge suspension bridge spanning across Burrard Inlet. The bridge carries Highway 99 from North Vancouver to Vancouver. The south end of the bridge is in Stanley Park. Construction of the bridge began in 1937, and today it can be considered a landmark of Vancouver. I think this bridge can be compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco for its amazing and ambitious architecture. Good views of this bridge can be seen from Stanley Park.
