British Columbia's stately provincial capital, Victoria lies at the southeastern end of Vancouver Island and enjoys a mild climate thanks to the shelter afforded by the Olympic Peninsula, which looms across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Washington State.
Today Victoria remains the most English of Canadian cities, graced by the province's finest colonial architecture and making good use of its attractive harbor setting, with a host of pubs, restaurants and minor attractions overlooking the water.

Suggested Itineraries: Victoria
The remarkable First Nations exhibit is the headline-grabber at the acclaimed Royal British Columbia Museum. Dominating the third floor, it's packed with carvings, canoes, beadwork, tools, weapons and basketry, supplemented by good notes.
Right next door to the museum, Thunderbird Park is chock full of totem poles, and one of Victoria's most popular landmarks.
East of downtown, the best feature of the fine Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is the permanent collection of Emily Carr artworks, which are illuminated by brutally honest writings from the journal of this pioneering West Coast artist.
