Les incontournables de Victoria

Victoria Essentials

Victoria’s Inner Harbour serves as the backdrop for the city's most iconic landmarks, including the Neo-baroque British Columbia Parliament Buildings and the Edwardian-style Fairmont Empress Hotel. The city's Chinatown, the oldest in Canada, features the narrow Fan Tan Alley and the ornate Gate of Harmonious Interest. Cultural heritage is further highlighted by the indigenous totem poles at Thunderbird Park and the 62-bell Netherlands Centennial Carillon. From the historic shopping corridor of Government Street to the modern engineering of the Johnson Street Bridge, these sites define the city's colonial and coastal legacy.
