Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Victoria enjoys very mild weather all year-round. The gorgeous flowers of the Butchart Gardens are Victoria’s crowning glory. In fact, Victoria even derives a nickname, 'The City of Gardens', from them. Students of the English Courses in Victoria will be equally impressed by the majesty of the Fairmont Empress Hotel and the Inner Harbour. The lively Inner Harbour, in particular, features music performances from aspiring artists and is a favourite of residents and students alike.
