Tourist Information -
Victoria
Victoria is a city and capital of the province
of British Columbia, Canada. Once an important trading and manufacturing
centre, it now functions as an administrative and tourist centre.
It is sited on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, next to the
Strait of Juan de Fuca.
It could be considered the Eastbourne of Canada as many older people
retire to Victoria with its dry, warm summers and wet, mild winters.
This intimate, sophisticated seaside city is also the vacation capital
of Canada and the premiere tourist spot in the Pacific Northwest
and delights in one of Canada's mildest climates. This one-time
colonial city bustles with cosmopolitan dining, superb shopping,
a colourful nightlife and a full complement of cultural offerings
for all ages.
