The Inner Harbour in Victoria is THE place to hang out and create beautiful memories.
Here are the top three things to do:
(1) Spend time soaking in the beautiful scenery - from seaplanes and sailing boats to beautiful gardens and magnificent buildings (The Empress Hotel, The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, etc.), there is something for everyone.
PRO TIP: Visit in the late evening, and watch the lights come on at dusk. It's magical!
(2) Take in a bit of culture and history - start at Thunderbird Park, but don't neglect spending time at the other totem poles scattered around the area. There is also Confederation Garden Court with its psychedelic fountain and shields for all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, and some impressive statues, such as Queen Victoria, Memorial to soldiers who fought in Wars, etc.
(3) Interact with the locals - we enjoyed the mimes and hawkers, and spent a fun hour watching a very entertaining busker juggle knives atop a unicycle! If you can, enjoy a horse buggy ride (they cost about $80 per family and close at 10 pm).
We heart you Inner Harbour! Can't wait to return!! read more
