Things to do in Victoria, Vancouver Island: The Best Sights & Landmarks

April 7, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

Victoria is a thriving city of heritage architecture and time-honored traditions like afternoon tea. With the ocean at its doorstep and wilderness in its backyard, it’s also a perfect place for outdoor enthusiasts. You can find everything from a world-class science and natural history museum to a blooming public park where peacocks roam freely, plus a range of unique shops, cafes and restaurants. And more cycling routes than any other Canadian city, providing a great way to explore the scenery.

Overlooking the ocean, this is a lovely final resting place for many Victorians. It is large and well kept, and an interesting place to think of the past and ones future!

St. Ann's Academy National Historic Site

Reviewed By godoggo59 - Port Elgin, Canada

A small museum in former St Anne's Academy building, which is now mainly used for municipal offices. Office staff was very knowledgable and friendly- even on a Saturday! The ground and school building are beautiful and the chapel had sun streaming through the stained glass windows. And best of all- it was free!
