Canada's garden city

Parks • Activities • Restaurants •

Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island between Juan de Fuca and Haro straits. On the island, Victoria has become the largest urban area. The city is known for the mildest winter climate of any city in Canada and its many parks and green spaces are loved by the locals.

Even though Victoria is known for its parks, there are still plenty of indoor attractions to enjoy. The Royal BC Museum is a world-class museum with natural and human history. Another great place to check out is Craigdarroch Castle. Completed in 1890, it has been restored to look as it did during the 1890s. If you prefer outdoor activities over indoor ones, Beacon Hill Park is 200 acres with tons of wildlife such as peacocks and deer. The Inner Harbour is a scenic patch of waterfront with tons of restaurants and stores to shop in. The Victoria Bug Zoo is a mini zoo that gives all of its visitors the opportunity to view live tropical bugs from around the world.

Victoria is known for great restaurants serving everything from French cuisine to fresh, local seafood to cozy spots perfect for meeting up with friends after work.
