Victoria, British Columbia is always in
season! Victoria has the mildest climate in Canada, and is a place so green all
year that flowers fall out of the sky and even the lamp posts bloom. It is no
wonder that it is called The Garden City! The wild beauty of the Pacific coast
and the adventure of the great outdoors are within the city limits and ocean and
mountain vistas will follow you wherever you go. Victoria remembers its colorful
history with First Nations totem poles, heritage architecture and afternoon tea,
and bustles with the energy of a university town, having the University of
Victoria, Canada within its limits. Shop windows are full of British imports,
Native art and the latest trends. Restaurants and cafés serve the freshest
cuisine. The harbor is alive with the romance of an era when tall ships moored
alongside the wharf and evenings glitter as lights twinkle and cast their magic
from atop the landmark British Columbia Legislative Buildings. The Garden
City is a year-round tourism destination that offers a friendly, safe haven for
all visitors. Getting here is very easy, and, once here, you will feel a million
miles away. With a clean environment and charming ambience, it is no surprise
