"​The Royal BC Museum is the ultimate authority on provincial history and one of Canada’s great cultural treasures. Founded in 1886, this Victoria landmark has permanent galleries and interactive exhibitions showcasing British Columbia’s natural and human histories. Within the museum’s collection of 7 million objects, you can stomp around with woolly mammoths from the Ice Age, climb aboard a full-scale replica of George Vancouver’s HMS Discovery ship or experience the brand-new feature exhibit, Egypt: The Time of Pharaohs."

"Fairmont Empress is recognized as one of Top 21 Iconic Hotels in the World by National Geographic Traveler magazine, honored with Travel + Leisure Magazine’s World’s Best Award for Top 10 City Hotels in Canada, and regarded as a Condé Nast Readers’ Choice and Gold List hotel.

"Pretty good experience, amaizing Mediterranean garden experience. Most food was good, not great, fantastic presentation but missing those explosive flavors...."

"Towards the back of the field along Montreal St is the Toddler Park (pictured above). This is completely gated in (have I mentioned that I love fenced in parks) and there is plenty of things to let the imagination run wild. I know lots of moms who consider this one of the best parks in Victoria."

"While it's nothing fancy, their simple burgers and hotdogs are a huge hit with families. The seating inside is limited but they have a covered patio, and it's a fun experience to order from the window outside like it's a real drive in. One of the best parts is its location - I highly suggest taking a stroll through Beacon Hill Park during your outing, and even visiting the Petting Zoo (by donation) if you have time!"

"Beacon Drive-In Restaurant is on its 58th year of serving its classic treat – ice cream!. Using only local Island Farms Soft Serve ice cream all these years, it’s no wonder they’ve been around for so long!. Beacon’s warm atmosphere and friendly staff continue to serve up smiles and sweet treats year round, whether you prefer to order inside or out."

"Voted Victoria’s best ice cream 25 years in a row, the Beacon Drive-In knows how to swirl that perfect soft-serve cone. Ideally located by Dallas Road and Beacon Hill Park, you can eat in, or take your cone to wander."

"Dublin may be more than 4500 miles away, but you can be there in a few minutes!. Irish Times is a carefully planned traditional Irish pub brimming with authenticity. The pub's two floors are a second home to many Victorians, who appreciate the craic – the overall positive vibe resulting from fine beer, traditional music, hearty food and lively companions."

"Located near Bastion Square, this faux-Irish pub has live music nights and is always jam-packed with folks having a good time. Pro-tip: they open at 7 am and do a great breakfast deal before 9 am. Website: www.irishtimespub.ca Address: 1200 Government St."

"Named one of the top Irish pubs outside of Ireland by the Irish Times newspaper, this is one of the best places in Victoria to tuck into for a Guinness and bratwurst, hands down."

"Located in beautiful Victoria, BC. Shiki Sushi’s unique creations and comfortable decor make it one of Victoria’s most popular sushi restaurants. Our restaurant has been at the heart of downtown Victoria since 2004. Thank you for making Shiki Sushi one of the most popular sushi restaurants in Victoria."
