At the Southernmost tip of Vancouver Island, it’s not hard to see why Victoria has been dubbed the “Garden City.” With the mildest year-round weather in Canada, and with its buildings nestled alongside coastal bluffs, beaches, and parks, Victoria is a beauty and recreation seekers paradise. Bike paths and walking-distance amenities knit together neighbourhoods, and ocean views are expansive.
But, far from being a sleepy small town, Victoria blends its compact charm with the vibrancy of culture, experience, and industry. With the most restaurants per capita in Canada; a downtown core boasting professional services, luxury condominiums, and shops; and vibrant neighborhoods teeming with boutiques, cafes, and more, Victoria is the perfect blend of charm, beauty, and bustle.
