If you want to take in the classic Victoria greenery, take a stroll through Beacon Hill Park! It’s free to enter and with 200 acres of park to explore, you could spend the whole day! There is also a café, a small petting zoo for kids and one of the tallest totem poles in the world in the park.

Horticulturists, rejoice! Victoria is known around the world as the City of Gardens due to its ideal growing climate – they have been doing an annual flower count since the 1970s, and in 2018 they counted over 3.4 billion blooms! National Geographic also counts it as one of the best cold-water diving destinations due to the clarity of the water and diversity of marine life. You can also bet on seeing a whale if you keep your eyes peeled – the ocean surrounding Victoria is home to three pods of orca whales, which adds up to over 76 whales!
