To this day, British Columbia's capital city remains faithful to strong British roots. The city's 19th century architecture, Tudor-style homes, flower-laden lamp standards, cricket greens and English tearooms are all an integral part of Victoria's charm. Beyond the flowers, quaint cottages and afternoon tea, however, lies a city rich with culture, entertainment and many attractions. Enhanced by a mild, year-round climate, Victoria's recreational activities are second to none. Sailing, golf, fishing, tennis, whale watching and more are all within easy reach. Theatre and music groups keep the arts alive, and the Royal British Columbia Museum is rated among the top ten in the world. For those who want to relax, and enjoy the best of the West Coast, look no further than Victoria.
