Victoria has been called the best mid-sized city in the world and the most walkable city outside of the U.S. by the readers of TravelAwaits.
Victoria earned the top spot in the mid-sized category for its balance of culture and accessibility.
“The small-town feel of Victoria keeps the cultural scene down to earth and inviting,” TravelAwaits said.
B.C.’s capital city was also praised for the Royal B.C. Museum and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
TravelAwaits highlighted walking along the city’s Inner Harbour and its green spaces.
“This waterfront area has beautiful views, exciting events and several interesting landmarks. Walkers can take a break from their meandering to have tea at the Fairmont Empress or visit the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.”
