Visiting Victoria

Planning a vacation to Greater Victoria on Vancouver Island?

We’ll warn you now, you might not want to leave.

Even with the world to choose from, Victoria is something truly special — Condé Nast Traveler has voted it one of the world’s top-10 cities to visit.

Framed by breathtaking snow-capped mountains and ocean views, Greater Victoria is more than just a pretty place. Your plans can be as diverse as you are. Enjoy a vibrant nightlife, boutique-style shopping, sip and savour local flavours, hold on for your life on a zodiac whale watching or ziplining through trees and absorb the wonders of a world-class museum. And don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers in Butchart Gardens.

Choose from a wide assortment of  hotels and inns, vacation homes, restaurants, and attractions when planning your soon-to-be favourite vacation.

Visit Destination Greater Victoria’s website to find out all the wonderful sites and activities to make a part of your visit.

Extending your visit to other locations on Vancouver Island will be well worth your while. Condé Nast ranked Vancouver Island as the Top North American Island for seven years in a row! Visit the Tourism Association of Vancouver Island to explore all the Island has to offer.

And of course, the province of British Columbia offers endless holiday possibilities. After your stay in Victoria, find out about what the other areas of the province hold in store at Destination BC.
