Traditions
Victoria celebrates its British heritage by preserving its period architecture as well as many of its traditions. Sipping tea and tending elaborate gardens are popular traditions in Victoria. Seasonal events and holidays are also celebrated in Victoria as they are across Canada and around the world.
Tea-rooms around Victoria provide the opportunity to experience the tradition of afternoon tea. From formal hotels and lush gardens to quaint one-room establishments, visitors and residents alike can enjoy the practice of taking tea while enjoying some of the most picturesque views in the city.
Aptly named the "City of Gardens", Victoria is world-renowned for its many beautiful gardens. Victoria's legendary passion for gardening stems from its early days when British settlers tamed their bit of unruly Pacific wilderness by planting roses to remind them of home. This love of gardening quickly turned into a tradition that flourishes all over Victoria, and the mildness of the climate means there is always something blooming. |
