Victoria has the mildest climate in Canada

It is a place so green year-round that flowers fall out of the sky and even the lamp posts bloom. It is any wonder that it is called the The Garden City!? The wild beauty of the Pacific coast and the adventure of the great outdoors are within the city limits and ocean and mountain vistas will follow you wherever you go.

Victoria remembers its colourful history with First Nations totem poles, heritage architecture and afternoon tea; all the while bustling with the energy of a university town, having the University of Victoria within its limits. Shop windows are full of British imports, Native art and the latest trends.

Restaurants and cafés serve the freshest cuisine. The harbour is alive with the romance of an era when tall ships moored alongside the wharf and evenings glitter as lights twinkle and cast their magic from atop the landmark British Columbia Legislative Buildings. Victoria truly is a magical city!
