It’s a place where the casual modernism of the West Coast blends with time-honoured British, European, First Nations and Asian traditions.

With the mildest climate in Canada, spectacular natural beauty, year round outdoor activities, entertainment and world-renowned attractions, it’s no wonder that Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards have scored Victoria
as the #17 best city in the world and Vancouver Island as #16 top island in the world.
