In typical Maloney fashion, he says there are great restaurants downtown....Chris also says the Butchart Gardens are a must...some great museums...the harbors...and some great wineries...

Adding to Mike's list:
Chinatown -Canada's oldest
Capilano Suspension Bridge
Craigdarroch (sp?) Castle & Museum
Butchart Gardens is amazing
Great whale watching from Victoria
Lots of float planes landing and taking off from the harbour downtown
A beautiful city!
The Empress Hotel - I think it's a National Historic Site
The whole inner harbour area, Empress Hotel, Parliament Buildings is a great walking and sightseeing area
