Itinerary
- Butchart Gardens in spring is a burst of fresh colour—tulips, daffodils, and flowering trees everywhere, with bright new growth filling the Sunken Garden and winding paths that feel made for photos. (2h 30min)
- Wander into Victoria’s Chinatown during the holidays, where glowing lanterns and seasonal decorations transform Canada’s oldest Chinatown into a vibrant festive scene. Continue through the iconic Fan Tan Alley—Canada’s narrowest street—where twinkling lights, small shops, and cozy passageways create a charming Christmas atmosphere. (10 min)
- Experience the holiday glow of British Columbia’s iconic Legislative Building, beautifully outlined with more than 3,300 shimmering lights. Completed in 1898, this architectural landmark serves as the seat of provincial government and becomes one of Victoria’s most photographed sights during the Christmas season. (10 min)
- Take in a stunning waterfront view of the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel. First opened in 1908, this National Historic Site has welcomed royalty, dignitaries, and famous guests for over a century. Today, it stands as one of Victoria’s most magical and beautifully decorated landmarks during the holiday season. (10 min)
