No first trip to Vancouver is complete without checking out Stanley Park. You can get there by car across the bridge or on the seabus and then walking or catching a bus the rest of the way. Once there, bike/walk/or even rollerblade around the Seawall and underneath the Stanley Park Bridge, or take a horse drawn carriage ride.

My fav place to go nearby, nice food or just drinks, amazing views of the water, short walk away, and a great vibe. The place is always packed so grab a reservation if you can. The Shipyards is a great place to walk around so don't be intimidated by a half hour wait, enjoy the views till then. The blackened chicken will not disappoint.

This is the original Cactus Club! Not as modern a vibe as the usual Cactus Clubs if you are familiar with the chain, as they have kept this one original. A little fancier location is at the Park Royal Village, but I'm partial to the original one on Pemberton, about a 5 min drive away.
