Itinerary
The Inner Harbour spreads across the edge of the city and includes several bays and historical landmarks, including the Empress Hotel.
Some of Bastion Square's buildings are among the oldest in the city and many are landmark structures of Canada.
With plenty of parks, theatres, restaurants and bars in walking distance, it’s easy to stay busy in Chinatown.
Fan Tan Alley was originally a gambling district consisting of shady bars and opium dens. Today, however, it is a popular tourist destination with ample retail shops, an art gallery and many Chinese cafes, restaurants and apartments.
The Empress Hotel is one of the oldest and most famous hotels in Canada. The Empress has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada and has become an iconic symbol for the city of Victoria itself.
The Royal British Columbia Museum hosts touring exhibits from all around the world; recently these have included exhibits on the Titanic, Leonardo da Vinci, Egyptian history and Genghis Khan. The museum has an impressive collection of natural history, including the Ice Age and the Stone Age.
Beacon Hill Park is an impressive 75,200 acres of gardens located along the shore of Juan de Fuca Strait in Victoria.

About Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island is a long, mountainous island off British Columbia, home to the capital Victoria, temperate rainforest and whale-watching waters.
Vancouver Island runs about 460 kilometres along the Pacific coast of British Columbia, with a spine of mountains, deep inlets and old forest. Victoria, the provincial capital at the southern tip, has the Inner Harbour, the Parliament Buildings and the Royal BC Museum. Nearby, Butchart Gardens fills an old limestone quarry with flower beds, and Craigdarroch Castle, a Victorian mansion, stands on a hill in the city.
