More infoVictoria's postcard earns the title at dusk. Start on the lower causeway as the sun drops behind the harbour, then stay while the Parliament Buildings flick on their 3,000-plus light bulbs and the whole waterfront goes full fairy tale. Float planes taxi in, buskers set up, the Empress glows behind you. Find a ledge, two ice creams and no plan, then peel off into Old Town for dinner.
Start on the lower causeway as the sun drops, then linger while the Parliament Buildings flick on their 3,000-plus bulbs and the waterfront goes full fairy-tale. It's flat and free, with float planes, buskers and ledges to perch on with two ice creams; budget about an hour. Time it for golden hour, then peel off into Old Town for dinner.
