Victoria

Nestled on the southern shores of Vancouver Island, Victoria has perfected its mix of nature and culture. The city’s harbourfront bustles with an undeniable energy, as harbour ferries dance across the water, and a network of vibrant gardens and parks stitch together its heritage neighbourhoods, all made accessible thanks to Canada’s mildest climate. Pull a paddle through the Pacific, indulge in farm-fresh fare and make time to explore the rich Indigenous history. 

Let your curiosity lead you through mighty rainforests, along rugged coastlines and down hidden alleyways, to a city where nature and urban adventure blend effortlessly. Wander around manicured gardens, savour a spot of afternoon tea – pinkies up, of course – ride a seemingly endless network of trails and discover new flavours in the heart of Canada’s oldest Chinatown. Around each corner, the city continues to reveal itself through historic architecture, awe-inspiring public art and friendly locals who add to Victoria’s quirky charm.
