🇨🇦 Victoria Island 🛳️ | The Ultimate Travel Guide (Save This!)
A perfect day for City Walk 🚶🏻♀️! No car needed—public transport is more fun and cost-effective. Get the best of both worlds: ⛴️ Ferry ride + 🚌 Double-decker bus! For a short getaway, Victoria is an ideal choice. Getting There from Vancouver Take the 620 bus from Bridgeport Station (~35 mins to Tsawwassen BC Ferry Terminal). Arrive 30 mins early—boarding queues can get long! (Miss your ferry? Next one’s in an hour.) 🎫 BC Ferries Tips Book tickets online in advance for smooth check-in. Fares: $19.10 (adults 12+), *FREE for seniors (65+) Mon-Thu*. Flexible rescheduling if early/late! Onboard: Restaurants, kids' play area, charging stations, study zones. Scenic 1h35m ride—enjoy ocean views or chill on the deck! 🌊 Arriving in Victoria 🚌 From Swartz Bay (Platform A), take Bus 70 to downtown (~50 mins). Ask the driver for a $5 Day Pass (unlimited rides, cash only). My Itinerary & Must-Dos 🍵 Dim Sum in Chinatown (Skip Don Mee—overpriced & mediocre 😅) ⭐ Fan Tan Alley & Chinese Canadian Museum Fascinating stories about early Chinese railroad workers! 📚 Munro’s Books – Gorgeous bookstore, great for photos. 🐟 Red Fish Blue Fish (1hr wait but WORTH IT!) Must-try: Halibut Fish & Chips + Jerk Fish Tacone 🌮 🏰 Miniature World – Whimsical mini displays (45-60 mins). 🏛️ Parliament Building – Get free tour tickets EARLY! (I missed mine 😢) 🎪 Inner Harbour – Food stalls, live music on boats, and a lively vibe! Why I Loved It Perfect pace for families & seniors. Stunning architecture everywhere! Sunset ferry ride back to Vancouver = magic 🌇✨ #VictoriaBC #VancouverDayTrip #TravelGuide #FerryAdventures #ExploreCanada #HiddenGems #CityWalk #WestCoastVibes #TravelTips
