ictoria, B.C., is known as the Garden City for its multitude of overflowing hanging baskets that adorn downtown's streets. The parliament buildings (shown here at night) overlook the inner harbour, a great place for a twilight walk.
ictoria is the capital and second largest city in B.C. Victoria can be desribed as Canada's most English city. With its manicured gardens, winding streets, cricket games with tea breaks, double decker buses and horse carriages, Victoria is a city not easily left, or forgotten.

troll the downtown streets and find yourself gazing into the 19th Century store windows and admiring the various artwork, china, and luxurious delicacies offered by the local merchants. Don't forget to visit Antique Row, a section of Fort Street lined with small shops that specialize in preserving the past.
he Inner Harbour is the heart of Victoria. A causeway wraps around the harbour while the impressive stone Legislative Buildings and Empress Hotel peer out onto the harbour welcoming visiters coming by sea. A twilight walk along the causeway, illuminated by antique street lamps and with the Legislative Buildings aglow, is highly recommended.
