Victoria is the capital of the province of British Columbia and is generally reached via a 90 minute ferry ride from Vancouver. It is a relatively quiet and slower paced city that boasts British influences (mostly seen in the downtown area). Some highlights include the impressive Butchart Gardens (located a bit outside Victoria), the Inner Harbour, and the Royal British Columbia Museum. You can also go on whale watching tours from Victoria or have high tea at the Empress Hotel.Read More Victoria is the capital of the province of British Columbia and is generally reached via a 90 minute ferry ride from Vancouver.

Travel Tips from people who've been to Victoria
The Spiral Cafe is a cute little cafe in Victoria's West End. Every Thursday night, there is an open mic nights and is always full of locals who preforme, or are there just to watch the preformances.

Okay, I want to talk about one of the greatest thing I've done in Canada.
When I was in Victoria, BC, I decided spontaneous to do the whalewatching-thing! Of course I knew it would be expensive but every dollar was worth for it. I mean you don't really have the guarantee that you will see whales but I had luck. We saw a small family of Orcas, which was amazing. They were so curious about us, they swam just one meter away from the zodiac (!) boat away and then under us through. Just amazing.
Later we saw three humpback whales and if you see them you feel just you are so small... It just blew me away!
And our Marine biologist knew what he talked about.
So if you have the chance do to that somewhere, don't think too much about just do it!

Fujia is the best sushi restaurant in Victoria. 9 pieces of Californa rolls cost about $3.00 Canaida. Best sushi in Victoria, at the best value. If you are feeling adventurous try the Spicy Tuna Roll.
