Today is free at leisure to enjoy in Canada's little England, Victoria.
VICTORIA is BC’s provincial capital and the region’s second city after Vancouver. It’s a popular excursion from Vancouver, and though it’s possible to come here for the day, it’s better to stay overnight and give the city the two or more days it richly deserves. Much of the waterfront area has an undeniably quaint and likeable English feel – “Brighton Pavilion with the Himalayas for a backdrop,” said the writer Rudyard Kipling – and Victoria has more British-born residents than anywhere in Canada.
Despite the seasonal influx (some four million visitors per year), it’s a small, relaxed and pleasantly sophisticated place.
It also provides plenty of bars, restaurants (and the odd club) and serves as a base for a range of outdoor activities and slightly more far-flung attractions. Chief of these iswhale-watching, with a plethora of companies offering trips. As a final lure, the weather – though often damp – is extremely mild; Victoria’s meteorological station has the distinction of being the only one in Canada to record a winter in which the temperature never fell below freezing.
Victoria’s heart is compact: the best shops, restaurants and attractions are within walking distance of the Inner Harbour area and the Old Town district behind it. On summer evenings this area is alive with strollers and buskers, and a pleasure to wander around as the sun drops over the water. Foremost among the daytime diversions are the Royal British Columbia Museum and theParliament Buildings. Or you might drop by Craigdarroch Castle and think about a trip to the celebrated Butchart Gardens, some way out of town, but easily accessed by public transport or regular all-inclusive tours from the bus terminal. If you’re around for a couple of days you should also find time to walk around Beacon Hill Park, a few minutes’ walk from downtown to the south.
Today after a relaxed afternoon in Victoria, your Canadian adventure comes to an end. Drop off your hire car at Victoria Airport in time for your flight to Vancouver, and onwards to London with Air Canada in Economy Class
