Not the prettiest of docks. But serves the purpose. It's a relatively short walk into town. We took a pedacycle into town and walked back to the ship which was a good choice. About 20 minute walk along nice streets between the main waterfront area and the cruise ship.
We briefly visited Victoria via cruise ship and loved the old history background of the e all to downtown at or near 9pm and enjoyed a brisk walk around downtown government buildings, but restaurants were closed. Still educational and fun.
Not bad. It was clean and didn't give you the feeling that you were far from everything. It is right next to a beautiful old neighborhood. You can walk straight into the centre in 15 minutes. Part if the walk also borders a gorgeous view of the sea. There are city busses you can take and there is an expensive coach. The gift shop is on the dock and is actually really good.
What a beautiful stop at Victoria. From the dock, busses are staged and cost $15 to get downtown. Your ticket allows you to ride all day back and forth to the dock and downtown. The busses are equipped with ramps for scooters and wheelchairs.nnWe drove by beautiful parks, fisherman's warf, and drop off at the Empress Hotel. The Empress is amazing with green grounds, with beautiful flowers. The downtown street is a walking street. No vehicles allowed. It is a tourist trap with all of the souvenir shops. There are still many very nice pubs and restaurants. Would love to have gotten to see more of Victoria. We would go back to stay longer.
The city folk of Victoria welcomed us with open arms, helpful recommendations, and fast shuttle bus service to city center. Great Capitol city!
