Grouse mountain has stupendous views over Vancouver but its real attraction for us were the bears in the Refuge for Endangered wildlife. Cute.
Granville Island Market is a must with its live theatre, restaurants and craft shops.
Open 7 days a week from 9am-7pm.

The Castelo de Sao Jorge is one of the most peaceful spots in Lisbon and has fine views over the city. It's a great place from where to watch the sunset.
When we were there, the Emperor Hirohito's son and heir were filming the amazing sunset.
Follow up with an evening meal in the Alfama district below the castle at the Esquina de Alfama for good value Portuguese food (tasty sardines!)
