Sounds like she wants to
see the city
go shopping
and have dinner.
Period.
If it turns into sex, so be it, but if I were you, I wouldn't go into this assuming or expecting that. It sounds to me like she wants a tour guide and not a date.
So, take her to some place in your city that's unique and interesting, like a museum, park, zoo, monument or the like. Then take her shopping. Then take her to dinner at some place you like that isn't too formal but not too informal. She's more or less given you all of the information you need in terms of planning the day. If you have any questions about specifics (e. g. would she prefer to see a famous fountain instead of go to the old section of the city or whatever the tourist attractions are where you live), why not call her and ask?
If I were entertaining someone from out of town who asked for these kinds of things (assuming I wasn't married and this was some man who I had known and maybe even had dated at one point), I would take him to the Gardener Museum (or Fenway Park or the Public Garden, depending on weather and whatever he preferred to do), then to Downtown Crossing for shopping, and then to dinner at some casual but not too casual place like, I dunno, Border Café in Cambridge. I wouldn't take him to a movie; he can do that at home and that's not what he, my guest, said he wanted to do. I would not expect sex or a rekindling of the relationship.
