Victoria

Victoria City

Victoria is located at the southernmost tip of Vancouver Island and serves as the capital of British Columbia. It is the largest city in the province and the fifteenth-largest in Canada. This city is one of the oldest in the Pacific Northwest, established by British settlers in 1843.

Victoria is a unique city that blends the timeless charm of an old-world settlement with the modern elements of the new world. Visitors can explore a modern urban landscape while also savoring the distinctive allure of its historic roots. The city enjoys a mild climate, making it one of the more temperate regions in Canada, with lush greenery and serene beauty throughout the year. As a top tourist destination in British Columbia, it attracts many visitors annually. Victoria’s Chinatown is the oldest in Canada, offering affordable restaurants and authentic Asian markets. Beacon Hill Park, a major green space in central Victoria spanning 75 hectares, hosts concerts every summer. Other attractions in the city include the Victoria Bug Zoo, the Pacific Undersea Gardens, and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

The suburbs of Victoria are equally captivating. The Butchart Gardens is a year-round destination—spring brings daffodils and tulips, summer showcases vibrant roses, autumn features crabapple blossoms and dahlias, and winter is illuminated with festive Christmas lights. Other highlights include the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, the Victoria Butterfly Gardens, the Centre of the Universe, the Royal BC Museum, Fisgard Lighthouse, and Hatley Castle.
