The main attractions of Victoria on Vancouver Island are all grouped around the inner harbour of the city. Once you’ve found your way you can observe aeroplanes and get on water taxis exploring the bay of the capital city of the province British Columbia. Next to the harbor you can find some pretty impressive buildings like the ancient house of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia or the Hotel Empress. Close-by you can also discover the Royal BC Museum with its historic collection.
If you’re in for some food, the most beloved eatery at the harbor is Red Fish Blue Fish, a simple seafood stand that creates pretty long queues especially in evening hours. Victoria is named after Queen Victoria of England and has around 92,000 inhabitants these days. It was originally a trading outpost of the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) that was founded in 1670 and in the old days growing continuously by fur trading.
