So just got back from the trip, and it was awesome. What a beautifully designed city with amazing food.

The architecture (especially after going on the very good river tour) is truly fantastic (and really shows how generic cookie cutter boring Vancouver is). The outdoor spaces in the downtown areas are so well designed and everything is so walkable. Millennium Park is very nice and probably beautiful in the summer.

I was admittedly a bit nervous before going, in terms of how 'rough' the city is. Tbh it's not that bad. The worst you get are some homeless and alcoholics that mostly leave you alone or ask for change. Not the type of unpredictable or aggressive druggies that you can come across in Vancouver in certain parts.

Did many of the sights suggested here, River Tour, Art Institute, Willis Tower, Mag Mile, Architecture Center, L Train Ride, etc. All really solid.

I would definitely visit again with my wife or even as a buddies trip. Full pic dump here: https://imgur.com/a/BEdLs39
