Many people call Victoria Canada’s Garden of Eden. It’s officially known as "The Garden City" and is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, the largest of British Columbia’s 6,500 islands. It’s often called Canada’s loveliest city, mainly because of its temperate climate and its marvelous collection of gardens. Victoria remembers its colourful history with First Nations totem poles, heritage architecture and afternoon tea – served up at the framed Fairmont Hotel overlooking the idyllic harbor, and bustles with the energy of a university town, thanks to the presence of the University of Victoria. Victoria’s harbor is also alive with the romance of an era when tall ships moored alongside the wharf. The city’s strategic location makes it the gateway to the Pacific Rim. Its closeness to U.S. markets and its many sea and air links make Victoria a hub for business development and economic investment. Other main industries in Victoria are government, the technology sector and the Canadian Navy. Local area attractions include B.C. Legislature Buildings, Butchart Gardens, Craigdarroch Castle, Miniature World, National Geographic IMAX theatre, Royal British Columbia Museum, and the many Victoria island tours.
