Victoria

   

Victoria is located at the southern tip of Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada, and is a popular tourist destination known for its old-world charm. A strong British influence has remained since the construction of Fort Victoria in 1843 by the Hudson's Bay Company, the dominant fur-trading company at the time. Today, the store windows display British imports, and afternoon tea can still be enjoyed at the historic Fairmont Empress Hotel.

World renowned as the “City of Gardens”, Victoria has the mildest climate in Canada and its gardens are in bloom year-round. Friendly and clean, with restored historic buildings and miles of green lawns and parks, it is no surprise that Victoria, BC is one of the world's favourite destinations.
