20 Things to Do in Victoria, BC
Did you know Victoria, BC, is known as the City of Gardens? In this article and video, I’ll take you on a whirlwind tour of Victoria, British Columbia, known for its stunning gardens, historic charm, and seaside beauty. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, a more extended vacation, or just stopping by for a port day on your Alaskan cruise, Victoria has so much to offer.
Now, let’s talk about the weather — Victoria boasts one of Canada’s mildest climates, but it’s also known for its rainy days, especially in fall and winter. Don’t let a little rain dampen your plans, though! I’ll share tips on making the most of your visit, including indoor attractions like the Royal BC Museum, Butterfly Gardens, and afternoon tea at the famous Fairmont Empress Hotel. Plus, I’ll highlight some garden spots that are just as beautiful under a light drizzle. So, rain or shine, Victoria has you covered!
