British Columbia's capital city, Victoria, located at the south end of Vancouver Island, will never disappoint the traveller. The moderate maritime climate invites outdoor play, and if the weather should mar the planned outing, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to do to fascinate and entertain the visitor for the length of your stay. You'll be leaving many things undone for your next trip!

You can get around the way the locals do. Victoria is an excellent walking town, or you can try a horse-drawn carriage, as an alternative to rented vehicles, taxis or limos. The BC Ferries system is well-known for longer ferry trips, while the water taxi traverses smaller distances.

Even if your ideal holiday involves sitting and reading in the sun, Victoria has the trappings to make it even better, especially if you can combine your preferred activity with a high tea!
