Introduction

Victoria's Inner Harbour is the heart of the Vancouver Island capital, framed by the neo-baroque Parliament Buildings, the Fairmont Empress and the Maritime Museum—the postcard image of this thoroughly British-feeling city. By day gulls wheel as ferries and whale-watching boats come and go; at dusk the water mirrors the lights. Summer brings street performers; winter, a Festival of Lights. A harbour stroll, miniature train or seaplane tour each offers an easy new angle on Victoria.
