Canada 18 - Victoria - British Columbia
Trip we made in August and September 2015 across Canada. Viagem que fizemos em Agosto e Setembro de 2015 pelo Canada. 30/08/2015.
Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia, Canada, and is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island off Canada's Pacific coast. The city has a population of about 80,017, while the metropolitan area of Greater Victoria, has a population of 344,615, making it the 15th most populous Canadian urban region.
Victoria is about 100 kilometres (60 miles) from BC's largest city of Vancouver on the mainland. The city is about 100 kilometres (62 miles) from Seattle by airplane, ferry, or the Victoria Clipper passenger-only ferry which operates daily, year round between Seattle and Victoria and 40 kilometres (25 miles) from Port Angeles, Washington, by ferry Coho across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Named after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and, at the time, British North America, Victoria is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest, with British settlement beginning in 1843. The city has retained a large number of its historic buildings, in particular its two most famous landmarks, Legislative buildings (finished in 1897 and home of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia) and the Empress hotel (opened in 1908). The city's Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after San Francisco's. The region's Coast Salish First Nations peoples established communities in the area long before non-native settlement, possibly several thousand years earlier, which had large populations at the time of European exploration. Victoria, like many Vancouver Island communities, continues to have a sizeable First Nations presence, composed of peoples from all over Vancouver Island and beyond.
Known as the The Garden City, Victoria is an attractive city and a popular tourism destination with a thriving technology sector that has risen to be its largest revenue-generating private industry. Victoria is in the top twenty of world cities for quality-of-life, according to Numbeo. The city has a large non-local student population, who come to attend the University of Victoria, Camosun College, Royal Roads University, the Victoria College of Art, the Sooke Schools International Programme and the Canadian College of Performing Arts. Victoria is very popular with boaters with its beautiful and rugged shorelines and beaches. Victoria is also popular with retirees, who come to enjoy the temperate and usually snow-free climate of the area as well as the usually relaxed pace of the city.
Victoria é a capital da província canadense de Colúmbia Britânica. Está localizada no sul da Ilha Vancouver. Sua população é de aproximadamente 78 mil habitantes, com cerca de 330 mil habitantes na região metropolitana.

Victória é um porto de navios-cruzeiro, onde os navios-cruzeiro param no terminal de Ogden Point. A cidade também recebe benefícios económicos da sua proximidade ao Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt, a principal base marítima militar no Pacífico canadiano. A Baixa de Victoria também serve a Grande Victoria, onde muito clubes nocturnos, teatros, restaurants e bares se localizam, e onde ocorrem muitos e grandes eventos públicos regionais.

In the city, there is the fantastic Inner Harbor, Empress Hotel, British Columbia Parliament Buildings, Knowledge Totem Pole, Ogden Point Breakwater, Fisherman's Wharf, Victoria's Chinatown, a float plane airport, and Craigdarroch Castle.

Walking at Ogden Point Breakwater in Victoria British Columbia
Absolutely stunning pier that takes about 30 to 35 minutes to walk to the end and back. The view is stunning and there's an option to walk along the stones of the breakwater and enjoy some First Nations murals. Today there was a big ship docked and it's really big. Great place to watch cruise ships from May-September. Very busy pier when cruise ships are in. Nice little lighthouse and some benches at the end. Spotted some crabs and sea lions too. There's a busy cafe there as well beside a small beach. Great family friendly area. Suitable for children and dogs. Wheelchair accessible.
