If you booked your Victoria vacation rental for the spring, be sure to visit Butchart Gardens, with its pristine formal gardens, water features, and carousel. While the 55-acre garden offers year-round beauty, spring blooms bring a wealth of vivid colors. Your day keeps getting more elegant as you tour the Craigdarroch Castle, an ornate 1890 Victorian mansion, or settle in for afternoon tea at the Empress, the city's iconic and grand chateau-style hotel. Ever wanted to rub elbows with movers and shakers? Take a tour of the Parliament Buildings, home to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.
Victoria caters to lovers of the great outdoors. For waterfront views, take a walk along the Inner Harbor, a scenic downtown-adjacent region lined with restaurants, shops, and bars. For more adventures on foot, visit the 200-acre Beacon Hill Park, home to woodland trails, gardens, and tennis courts. Kids will love the park's playgrounds, seasonal water park, and petting zoo. Trade in your walking boots for 2 wheels and take a bike ride along the shoreline of Ross Bay Beaches. Once there, roll up your pant legs and wade into the craggy shoreline's tidal pools.
Winter means one thing: you'll spend plenty of time hunkering down inside your Victoria vacation rental. While daytime highs average a mild 44 degrees, snow blankets the island city in the winter, with December and January garnering between 8 to 10 inches of the white stuff each month. When it's not snowing, it's raining, particularly from November through January, a period that sees the most precipitation. Things dry off during the cool but sunny summers when the mercury climbs to the high 60s. Tepid springs and falls see temperatures peak in the low 50s.
Dotted with sandy shorelines and rocky outcrops, Victoria offers a classic Pacific Northwest landscape. The labyrinth of waterways surrounding Victoria are often filled with kayakers rowing between islands, and professional whale-watching tours. Sea lions sunbathe on Vancouver Island's rugged shores, while waterfront parks, lagoons, and lakes are home to a variety of waterfowl. On a clear day you can climb to the top of Mount Tolmie and look south across the Juan de Fuca Strait for a sweeping view of Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains in Washington State.
