Vancouver Island

Vancouver Island is located off the Pacific coast of the province of British Columbia in Canada, with Victoria at its southern tip serving as the provincial capital. The island stretches approximately 460 km from north to south and about 80 km across at its widest point, making it the largest island on the west coast of North America. Covering an area of about 32,134 km², it is the 43rd largest island in the world and the 11th largest in Canada. With a population of around 1.3 million, it is the second most populated island in the country after the Island of Montreal. The island is named after British naval officer George Vancouver, who explored the Pacific coast of North America between 1791 and 1794.

[Optional] The Butchart Gardens

The Butchart Gardens began in the early 1900s when a former limestone quarry for a cement plant was transformed into an elaborate garden by Jennie Butchart, the wife of owner Robert Butchart. After the limestone was exhausted, the deep quarry pit was gradually filled with soil and planted to create the iconic Sunken Garden. Over time, additional themed areas such as the Rose Garden, Italian Garden, and Japanese Garden were added, forming a world-renowned display of horticulture. Today, The Butchart Gardens is designated a National Historic Site of Canada and offers different atmospheres throughout the seasons, with changing floral displays and, in select periods, evening illuminations that showcase the garden’s unique three-dimensional landscape.

Overlooking the Inner Harbour in a prime location, the Empress is especially famous for its traditional English afternoon tea service, attracting visitors from around the world who come to experience this timeless setting as part of their Victoria trip.

British Columbia Parliament Buildings The Best-Known Landmarks in Victoria

Completed at the end of the 19th century in a Neo-Baroque style, the British Columbia Parliament Buildings serve as the active seat of the provincial government. Their distinctive green domes, symmetrical façade, and grand staircase create an impressive silhouette overlooking the Inner Harbour. On the lawn in front of the buildings stand a statue of Queen Victoria and war memorials that reflect the province’s history and heritage. In the evening, thousands of individual light bulbs outline the structure, turning the Parliament Buildings into one of Victoria’s most striking night views and a central symbol of the city.
