Victoria is a spectacular garden city with a deep, natural harbor and a forest for a backyard. This charming metropolis is a gleaming jewel on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. In Victoria, you can explore the bustling downtown on foot, bike along heritage buildings, and take scenic boat rides along the coast. The city’s location gives it a mild climate and protects it from the tempests of Pacific Ocean. Its waters are brimming with pods of whales and schools of dolphins. World-class cultural attractions and food stops dot tourist maps, and new adventures await in the island’s coastal rainforests. Victoria, the capital city of the province of British Columbia, is also a top destination for pet owners and their fur babies.
