Immerse yourself in the holiday spirit with a magical trip to Victoria during Christmas. Explore the festive charm of Victoria's harbourfront, then marvel at the holiday splendour of the Magic of Christmas displays at the renowned Butchart Gardens.
Depart from your Vancouver hotel and set off on a picturesque bus and ferry ride to Victoria. Enjoy breathtaking views of the British Columbia coastline as you travel. Once in Victoria, you'll tour the city centre area before having free time to explore. Admire the holiday decorations adorning the unique shops and cafes on Government Street and in Chinatown. Take a leisurely stroll along the harbour, capturing photos of the Parliament Building and the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel, both beautifully decorated for the season.
Then onto enchanting Butchart Gardens. Here, the garden transforms into a winter wonderland with dazzling lights, festive wreaths, cheerful carol singers, and an ice skating rink. Wander through a series of spectacular gardens, each with its own festive theme, before heading back to Vancouver.
