“Victoria is a unique blend of old world charm and new world experiences. As an island destination, Victoria offers visitors an escape from the hurried world and beams with ambiance. In Victoria, heritage architecture, colourful gardens and traditions like afternoon tea are mixed with outdoor adventure, culinary experiences, cocktail and craft beer scenes. Stay at a charming or luxurious hotel, attend a local event or celebrate one of our seasonal annual events with us.” Tourism Victoria
