Victoria was included in a prestigious travel magazine’s top 5 favourite cities in Canada!
We’re all aware, whether acutely or subconsciously, that Victoria is a stunning worldly destination (welcoming in millions of visitors every year), but it’s always wonderful to be acknowledged and celebrated by others.
Every year, Travel + Leisure (T+L) magazine sends a survey out to readers as a part of their World’s Best Awards to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe—which includes cities, hotels, resorts, cruise ships and more.
For their ‘cities’ category, Victoria scored 2nd place—where readers unsurprisingly named the High Tea at the Fairmont Empress hotel and the famed Butchart Gardens as some of our best ‘can’t-miss experiences’.

This year’s survey was completed by over 186,000 readers, and a total of more than 700,000 votes were cast across over 8,700 properties (hotels, cities, cruise lines, etc.).
According to T+L’s website, cities were rated on a selection of criteria such as sights/landmarks, culture, food, friendliness, shopping and value.
For each characteristic, voters could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor, and the final scores were averages of these responses.
