Tourism Victoria
Victoria, B.C. is a compact, seaside city on Canada’s west coast known for its blend of historic charm and modern experiences. The city made international headlines in 2017, ranking 2nd Best Small City in the World (outside of the U.S.) by Condé Nast, 3rd Best City in Canada by Travel + Leisure and landed a spot on Smart Meetings’ list of “Top 10 International Cities to Have Stepped Up Their Meetings Game”.
Getting here is easy. Whether by sea or air, travelling to Victoria and Vancouver Island allows you to see the natural beauty of Canada’s west coast. Arrive in Victoria via ferry with a scenic cruise, hop on a floatplane or helicopter and enjoy breathtaking views from the sky or fly directly into Victoria International Airport, located only 35 minutes from downtown. Whatever you choose, the journey to Victoria is an opportunity to focus on the meeting ahead and leave your everyday worries behind.
Victoria is home to over 6,500 rooms and a fully-equipped, 73,000 sq. ft. conference centre, located just steps from the city’s iconic Inner Harbour. With Canada’s most temperate climate, Victoria offers unparalleled year-round options for outdoor adventure and a burgeoning culinary scene focused on island sourced ingredients. Convene in a castle, take a sea kayaking coffee break or hit the open water in search of resident orcas, humpback whales and more. By virtue of everything Victoria has to offer, hosting a meeting here is nothing short of a capital idea.
