Rare Keith1010 Posted March 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2018 We have been to Victoria several times beginning with our first Alaska Cruise in the mid-1990's. On our first two visits we included time at Butchart Gardens which I highly recommend. I do not have digital photos from those trips. Since that time when we stop at this beautiful city we spend time in the downtown area so I thought I would share photos for those of you who will be visiting for the very first time or are thinking of a cruise which will include Victoria.

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 27, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted March 27, 2018 After we arrive to the port my wife and I will walk into town although shuttles are available. We love the walk and enjoy the scenery. The walk can take about 30 to 45 minutes depending on your pace. If you don't stop 30 minutes. It is easy to do and there are some markings so you head in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
