Your complete Victoria, British Columbia guide 👉 1. Getting There - Victoria is on Vancouver Island with no road or bridge access. You need to take a BC Ferry (car ferry) or seaplane from Vancouver, or take a direct flight on a major airline. 2. When to Visit - Unlike the rest of Canada, Victoria has fairly mild winters. So you can travel here all year long! But if we had to choose, we'd say the best months to come are between April and June (great weather and less tourists). 3. Getting Around
