Enjoy the BEST Attractions and Victoria BC Things To Do
We’re happy to share some of our favorite things to do in Victoria BC! Our convenient downtown location in the James Bay Village makes it easy to walk to most downtown attractions. After a day of exploring, return to your lovely room at the Fisher House. Victoria is a thriving city of heritage architecture and time-honored traditions like afternoon tea. With the ocean at its doorstep and wilderness in its backyard, it’s also a perfect place for outdoor enthusiasts. You can find everything from a world-class science and natural history museum to a blooming public park where peacocks roam freely, plus a range of unique shops, cafes and restaurants. And more cycling routes than any other Canadian city, providing a great way to explore the scenery.
