34 days in Victoria Itinerary

Many urban centers call themselves "Garden City," but thanks to its many manicured parks filled with native and exotic plants, Victoria probably deserves than moniker more than most.

Change things up with these side-trips from Victoria: Duncan (Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society, B.C. Forest Discovery Centre, &more), Sidney (Sidney Spit Marine Park, BC Aviation Museum, &more) and Goldstream Provincial Park (in Langford). On the 18th (Mon), hike the day away at Cowichan Valley trail. The adventure continues: go for a walk through The Butchart Gardens, admire the natural beauty at Victoria Butterfly Gardens, explore the historical opulence of Craigdarroch Castle, and stroll around Beacon Hill Park.

For other places to visit, maps, reviews, and other tourist information, go to the Victoria journey planning site.

In December, plan for daily highs up to 7°C, and evening lows to 3°C.
