Victoria is a great place to visit for a weekend—or long weekend—escape in British Columbia.

Victoria, the Capital City of BC, is home to a dynamic, thriving economy and vibrant arts and culture scene, with an unparalleled natural environment enjoyed by residents and visitors. It's a place where sustainability, health and well-being are the cornerstones of creating a prosperous and inclusive future. The present-day region of Greater Victoria has been inhabited by Coast Salish peoples for thousands of years. European contact with these peoples in the area was established through Spanish - and later British - exploration in the 1790s. In 1843, the Hudson’s Bay Company erected Fort Victoria as a fur trading posting and formed commercial relationships with these local First Nations. Demolished in 1864 as the surrounding population grew, the fort occupied the present-day site of downtown Victoria. The fort, city and region are named for Queen Victoria, who was the reigning British monarch when the fort was built.
