victoria, british columbia

Saapuminen: 17:00 - Lähtö: 22:00

Victoria sits in a lovely waterfront setting at the southern tip of nature-blessed Vancouver Island. It has kept its Commonwealth roots more strongly than almost anywhere else in Canada, and many see it as the most British city in North America. Founded in 1843 as a Hudson’s Bay trading post, its colonial past has been carefully preserved and continuously restored with great care. Alongside this colonial heritage, Victoria is deeply proud of its much older story. The city remains the home of the Lekwungen People, also known as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, whose culture and history are still very much woven into daily life. Victoria’s historic city centre is a textbook example of how to protect architectural character while keeping everything spotless. Add to that a wide choice of places to eat and drink, a lively nightlife and cultural scene, and excellent shopping. With the mildest climate in Canada and flowers in bloom for most of the year, Victoria is seen as the jewel of the west coast and is fondly known as the City of Gardens. Compact, charming and relaxed, Victoria offers a cheerful, laid-back atmosphere surrounded by stunning natural scenery. It’s no surprise that visitors are drawn here and tend to leave singing its praises.
