South Island
Welcome to the
City of Gardens
Rich in culture, steeped in history. Walk along Government Street to Bastion Square and you will find bricks embedded in the pavement tracing the outline of the original Fort Victoria, a Hudson’s Bay Company trading post. Picturesque heritage buildings, horse-drawn carriages, double-decker sight-seeing bus tours, two castles and the quintessential treat — tea at the Fairmont Empress Hotel overlooking the Inner Harbour — are all reminiscent of our British heritage.
