Victoria, Canada

British Columbia’s quaint capital city has a temperate climate and a really spectacular coastal setting on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Lots to see and do in the area, such as, sea kayaking, a visit to Butchart Gardens – a beautiful 130 acre country estate with year-round splendour, Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, Pacific Undersea Gardens and much more. Whale watching is a very popular pastime, with a large number of orcas, minke whales, grey whales, harbour seals and porpoises close to the coast. Or simply stroll the historic streets for a momento and watch the world go by from the comfort of a cosy cafe.
