Victoria, Canada
Victoria is one of Canada's most walkable small cities, with a compact downtown that wraps around a picturesque inner harbour. The iconic Empress Hotel and the domed Parliament Buildings anchor the waterfront, while nearby Fisherman's Wharf offers floating homes, fish-and-chip shops, and harbor seals. The city's mild Pacific climate supports lush gardens year-round — the Butchart Gardens, a 22-hectare floral display in a former quarry, is one of the world's great garden destinations. Chinatown, the oldest in Canada, occupies a few vibrant blocks with Fan Tan Alley, the narrowest commercial street in the country. Beacon Hill Park stretches from the city center to the oceanfront Dallas Road waterfront walk, with views across the Juan de Fuca Strait to the Olympic Mountains. The Fort Street antique row and the creative Fernwood neighborhood add depth to a walk through the city.

Use it to explore Inner Harbour and the Empress Hotel, Butchart Gardens, British Columbia Parliament Buildings, plus hidden gems like Fan Tan Alley and Moss Street Market without booking a group tour.
