Victoria - Most British Character City in North America

Many of the city most notable areas and buildings can be found around Victoria's focal point, the Inner Harbor. One can easily stroll from the Parliament Buildings to Fisgard street, a tiny and neat Chinatown that is Canada's oldest, while the Fisherman's Wharf area is best accessed on one of the cute oval-shaped shuttle boats that ply the harbor.

Butchart Gardens - Beautiful Garden in Canada

A short distance from Victoria, on the Vancouver Island , fittingly close to a city known for its flower decorations, the Butchard Gardens were started by Mrs Butchard to embellish the remains of a quarry exhausted by her husband's cement business. Through the skillful selection of species and landscaping, it has grown into one of the largest (55 acres), most beautiful, and varied private gardens in North America, including the Sunken Garden that started it all, a Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, and Italian Garden.
