A Canadian city with a British twist!

by Jefie - last update: Jul 7, 2007

At the very tip of the Transcanadian Highway!
Within seconds of stepping off the bus in downtown Victoria, I had fallen in love with this charming little city! The atmosphere all around was so joyful and laid-back, it immediately reminded me of my hometown of Quebec City, the main difference of course being the Union Jacks flying left and right! Named after the Queen of England, Victoria is evidently proud of its British roots, and it all contributes to giving the city it's very distinct and quite enjoyable flavour. Now, would you care for some tea?!

Pros:"Quite easy to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere"
Cons:"Very touristy, but is that really a bad thing?!"
In A Nutshell:"Definitely one of the highlights of a trip to BC!"

 I've been bombed in Victoria on numerous nights, and I must say, the police and the locals were all very kind to me, assuring that I managed to find my way back to my hotel safe and sound.

 I am just surprised that there is no explanation as to what this is. People I talked to seem disinterested in telling me. I think a plaque would have been a good thing. Also, in the summer everyone's a tourist so information can be hard to come by.
