One day in Victoria. What not to miss.
I am in Victoria for one full day because of business. What should I make sure I see in that day? I will be staying at the Empress. Can I see alot on foot? Are there sightseeing tours?? Thanks

Two attractions in Victoria stick in my mind several years after I was there.
#1 Butchart Gardens #2 The BC Museum The museum is well laid out. The exhibitions are good to excellent without being overwhelming. The Gardens are special. I am not much of a garden person, but this one rates a super A+ for excellence. |
Butchart Garden's are definately beautiful if you have enough time..If not, from the Empress, you can just walk around the Harbour...It is beautiful..You can take these little sightseeing boats too, I forget what they are called..You will see them in the water..Can take a horse and carriage ride too...Even go whale watching..Have fun.
