It's not difficult to discover why Victoria and southern Vancouver Island are unparalleled. The reasons are infinite. To begin, Victoria is a year-round destination. It's a Canadian city where the flowers bloom 12 months a year and pink petals blanket the ground as early as February. In every direction, visitors can admire ocean and mountain views.
 

Canada's oldest western city was once a fort for the Hudson Bay Company and has retained a 19th-century ambience in Old Town, Bastion Square, Market Square and Chinatown. Victoria remembers her colourful past and embraces her First Nations heritage and British charm.
 

Yet the city's small-town atmosphere is complemented by big city attractions which include, art galleries, antique emporiums, a symphony, an opera company, theatres, superb dinning, fine shops and much more.
 

From high tea to adventure tourism, Victoria has it all!
