Victoria is the capital city of the Canadian province of British Columbia, located off the mainland of the country, on Vancouver Island (not be confused with the City of Vancouver, which is situated on the mainland).
Even though British Columbia's capital is on an island, in distance, it is not far from either Vancouver (62 miles / 100 km) or Seattle, Washington, USA (also 62 miles / 100 km). Ferries and planes make Victoria accessible to visitors and commuters from both cities.
With its very intimate inner harbour hosting a marina of sailboats, yachts, and ferries, Victoria is a very attractive and alluring city. There is a certain coziness about this locale that gives Victoria the impression of a smaller, friendly town rather than a major city.
Part of the beauty of the city is that many of its most famous landmarks and attractions are reachable by foot or bicycle. Walking around the city, prepare to be dazzled by the elegant architecture of the British Columbia Parliament Building (especially when it's lit at night), or the charm of Beacon Hill Park, where you will be greeted by several ducks and blue herons.
Enjoy some fine-dining at the renowned Empress Hotel or spectacular views of the city and harbour at Vista 18, located atop the Chateau Victoria Hotel & Suites.
Any activity you decide to partake in promises to be an enjoyable one in Victoria!
