Itinerary

1. With roughly 740,000 square metres of parkland, Beacon Hill Park is the crowning jewel in Victoria’s park system. There are natural areas, manicured flower beds, footpaths and many sports and play features for the whole family to enjoy.

   1 h

2. Built by coal baron Robert Dunsmuir during the reign of Queen Victoria and now a National Historic Site, Craigdarroch Castle is being meticulously restored, giving visitors a glimpse of privileged life in the 1890s.

   1 h

3. The oldest Chinatown in Canada is the one in Victoria, British Columbia. Victoria’s Chinatown is also the second oldest in North America. Fan Tan Alley. This unique place is known as the narrowest street in all of Canada. Fan Tan Alley is a neat shopping street with several locally-owned stores. The shops are small in size but each offers something different. Products available in Fan Tan Alley range from ice cream and other treats to vintage records and trendy clothing. Another key feature of Fan Tan Alley is its architecture. A significant amount of the exterior has a brick finish. The old buildings appear extra tall thanks to the street’s narrow width.

   30 min

4. Victoria’s Inner Harbour is one of the most beautiful locations in the world (in our humble opinion). Its history is rich and the location is paramount to the development of tourism in Victoria, BC. In 1903, the causeway’s granite retaining wall was erected. This allowed for the development of the famous Empress Hotel by the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1974, the lower causeway was built to create a dedicated pedestrian route away from the traffic along Government street, and to create a public space for visitors and locals alike. Today, the space is used to host festivals, street performers, markets, restaurant patios, whale and wildlife watching, and ecotourism businesses as well as moorage for recreational vessels.

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.
