What is/are your favourite Canadian city(ies)?

Victoria is a beautiful English town crammed with English gardens. Many of its inhabitants would prefer to fly the Union Jack than the maple leaf flag. If you go, don't miss the anthropology museum.

I've been there. It's smaller then Vancouver & much less diverse. Seemed to have a sizeable population of British expats, mostly pensioners. It's the capital of BC so they keep it neat & pretty. Little industry to speak of, it depends on tourism, government & the services provided to retirees. Lush verdant city but doesn't seem as wet as Vancouver or Seattle.

Has anyone visited Victoria? When I stayed in Vancouver we arranged a trip over to the island but the weather prevented us from going - I was so gutted!

Yeah I've been there a year ago.
Americ is more or less spot on. Not as many Asians as you would otherwise encounter in Vancouver or on Lu-Lu Island.

Myself I'm thinking of moving to Victoria or Edmonton in a number of years, anything is better than Vancouver.

Being from Canada I`ve been to quite a few Canadian cities. Personally, I`m not a big fan of cities but Québec City and Montréal (especially le vieux Montréal) are nice. I also like Charlottetown and St. John's since they're much smaller and less "urban jungle"-ish. I absolutely detest Toronto, though I've lived there. I prefer Canada's rural areas and small towns.

Vancouver. It's a beautiful city in spite of all the Asians. And Victoria. In Ontario I like the Oakville-Burlington area. Not as crowded as Toronto to the east & much less diverse but still on Lake Ontario.

Yes Burlington is a fave of mine too now that you mention it. Stayed in a hotel right on Lake Ontario a few summers ago...just gorgeous. At night you could see the lights across the way from Niagara-On-The-Lake..ooooo another very very pretty town I might add. Quite the tourist trap but breathtaking though.

Cheers!...Aemma

Nope have never been that far west. I'd love to visit Victoria one day though. I'm told that it looks a bit like Ottawa what with its feel and look. I would love to have High Tea at the Fairmont Empress Hotel one day. Had it once here at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier...what fun! There's nothing like High Tea...very civilised.
