Things to Do
There’s something for everyone here. Victoria’s unique in North America for it’s combination of urban culture and natural surroundings.
Culture
A relatively small city on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the seat of the Provincial Government and boasts not one, but two universities. As a result, Victoria’s urban core has a thriving arts and cultural scene that matches cities you’d expect to be much bigger. Downtown Victoria offers a vibrant mix of restaurants, cafés, and diverse artisan businesses and collectives, all within easy reach of parks and waterfront views. Whether you’re exploring local eats, independent boutiques, or scenic trails, the city blends urban energy with natural beauty. Check out Tourism Victoria for everything happening in town.
Nature
If urban culture’s not your scene, you’re in for a treat. Within 15 minutes drive of the downtown core, you can find yourself lost in a network of regional parks. 15 minutes further, and you can be communing with nature at some of the Pacific Northwest’s most beautiful temperate rain forests. One ting is for sure: if you’re in to nature, bring your hiking boots because there’s lots to see around Victoria. Visit the CRD Regional Parks website or BC Parks website for more info!
Recovery Community
Victoria also boasts a vibrant recovery community. AA alone has over 180 meetings a week, as well as over 14 Al-Anon meetings, NA, and CA communities. Here are a couple of key resources:
