Walk along the Inner Harbour

The scenic Inner Harbour of Victoria is the main attraction and the best starting place for visitors. Many of the city's most popular attractions are either on the waterfront or within walking distance. On sunny days, you may wander down the waterfront, passing past the Empress Hotel and Parliament buildings, or stop in at a restaurant for a bite to eat.

Wide pedestrian streets frame the harbor, which is home to a variety of fishing boats and colorful floating homes. Street vendors and buskers frequent the area. The sidewalks are lined with cafés and restaurants where you may have an afternoon cup of tea while keeping an eye out for whales playing in the open water. The Royal British Columbia Museum and the Parliament Buildings are among the most popular sights in Victoria's Inner Harbour.
