Victoria overview

Victoria remains the most British of cities in North America; its picturesque location provides the perfect setting for an unhurried holiday or an active getaway. Visitors glimpse the Olympic Mountains in the background as bursts of colour from public and private gardens dot the landscape and boats sparkle in the harbour. Spend the afternoon on a whale-watching excursion, enjoying a leisurely stroll along the waterfront or browsing at the Royal British Columbia Museum.
