Information about Victoria
Airport - Victoria International Airport (YYJ) is located 30 minutes north of Victoria (off the Pat Bay Highway, on the way to the ferry terminal). Multiple flights per hour to and from Vancouver. You can also get into Victoria quickly and easily from Vancouver by either helicopter or float plane. There is a new floatplane terminal in operation just outside the Vancouver International Airport with a shuttle service operated by Harbour Air. Harbour Air has also introduced seasonal service from Langley Municipal Airport to Victoria.
Shopping - Victoria is full of little shops tucked away in every nook and cranny in the centre. Souvenir shops are all around the Inner Harbour. Although people generally think Victoria is a tourist destination only, there are more than just tourist shops. Americans so inclined may want to take the opportunity to pick up a Cuban Cigar or two. Just don't expect to be able to bring any back with you through Customs. Government Street, from the Inner Harbour up to Chinatown, is the biggest (and rather touristy) shopping drag. The best way to go is just to wander the streets but make sure you check out some little gems like Market Square, at the bottom of Johnson St. In the summertime there's live music here.
