Victoria & Vancouver Island
#7 in Best Places to Visit in Canada
While Montreal and Quebec City honor Canada’s French roots, Victoria pays tribute to the country’s British heritage. Many visit British Columbia’s capital for afternoon tea, a tour of the beautiful Parliament Buildings or a history lesson at the Royal British Columbia Museum. Others are interested in visiting Vancouver Island’s wineries to sample local vinos. Meanwhile, animal lovers enjoy the abundance of marine wildlife that call the waters surrounding Victoria home. In fact, there are more than 80 orca whales in Victoria’s waters.
Prince Edward Island
#8 in Best Places to Visit in Canada
Home to rolling green hills, red sandstone cliffs and a delicious bounty of seafood (this is where PEI mussels come from, after all), Prince Edward Island is the place to travel for a relaxing respite from Canada’s more adventure-driven destinations. When you’re not enjoying the beach, perfect your swing at one of the island’s golf courses. And be sure to keep an eye out for PEI’s seal population (four kinds call the island home either full or part time).
