Don't forget to say hi to all of the Alberta homeless weather-refugees on our streets.
But seriously, if it's nice out:
1. Walk all around the inner harbour. From the tourism centre (Government/Humboldt) all the way around to Fisherman's Wharf and James Bay. Stop and see the street performers on the lower causeway, stop for drinks at the Flying Otter and/or the Batemen Centre, enjoy the best views of the city all the way around.
2. If you want a nice dinner, I'm not an expert. If you want some decent food, some drinks, and awesome views, have a late lunch/dinner on the patio at the Local (Wharf/Bastion Sq).
3. Depending on the time, go to Darcy's (just across from the Local) for live music and dancing, or to Fiamo (Yates/Waddington Alley) for some drinks and good late night ambiance (and some really good pizza).
Other options include kayaking, whale watching, taking the harbour ferry, Maritime Museum (better value than the Royal BC Museum), Legislature tours, horse-carriage tours, hop on hop off tours, or just poke around the Empress and have a drink at the Bengal Lounge.
Near the end of the night, Sticky Wicket (Douglas/Courtney) is a guaranteed hotspot (for all ages), Fiamo and the Mint (Douglas/Johnson) serve legit food til 2, and there are a number of places that serve crappy after hours food on Douglas.
