Relax, refresh and reconnect in a world apart from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Surrender to the serene and scenic charms of Victoria, British Columbia.
Located on Vancouver Island, Victoria has a well-earned reputation as a city teeming with natural beauty. The "City of Gardens" not only has lush greenery, it’s surrounded by enchanting waters perfect for boat rides and even catching a glimpse of orca whales, seals and other local wildlife. The picturesque Inner Harbour isn't lacking in things to discover, either. Visitors can enjoy artists, street performers and other attractions right on the waterfront.
If nightlife is more of what floats your boat, there's also a vibrant side to this city rich with a diverse collection of clubs, cabarets and pubs, plus incredible fine dining options. Seafood lovers need not look any further than around the corner on the island. The catch of the day is barely off the boat when it reaches the kitchens of Victoria's many darling restaurants.
Whatever your taste or preferred pace, there's great restaurants and cafes ready to greet you after a day of soaking in the city's deeply embedded old Victorian influence and modern attractions. Speaking of which, you can learn about British Columbia's rich history at the Royal BC Museum, where you'll find exhibits and galleries galore, including a tribute to the indigenous Haida people and their breathtaking art.
At the end of the day, cap the whole experience off with a peaceful rest in a room at the famous Empress Hotel, one of Canada's most renowned hotels. Let Victoria revitalize you with a getaway that’s like nowhere else.
