Why Victoria City?
Victoria is a lively holiday destination, which seems to achieve the best of both worlds; it boasts just as fine a selection of attractions as larger cities such as Toronto or Vancouver, and yet its smaller size gives it a laid-back and friendly atmosphere. From pleasure boat rides to hiking and cycling in the surrounding landscape, there’s plenty to see and do both in and around the city of Victoria.
- The city of Victoria features an influential seaport, and is a popular stopping point for many cruise ships from the United States and the rest of Canada. You’ll also find an attractive marina at Oak Bay, where it is possible to book short trips around the bay – a great way to admire the dramatic coastline that surrounds the city.
- The downtown region of Victoria is a great place to start your explorations of this fun city. Here you will be able to find a good range of shops and museums, as well as countless coffee shops. After a day of exploring the city, there is no better way to unwind than by stopping off for fish and chips with a beer, at one of the many harbour-side pubs.
- If you’re thinking of travelling to Victoria with your whole family, then be sure to visit the Children's Farm at Beacon Hill. Located in the centre of the picturesque Beacon Hill Park, this miniature zoo features a range of different animals, as well as a petting zoo where children can play with the baby goats.
