Anchored by the spectacular Inner Harbour, downtown Victoria is the economic heart of the region and Vancouver Island. It is picturesque, featuring waterfront paths, charming shops and restaurants, stunning heritage buildings and picture-perfect locations. Proximity to Vancouver and Seattle, and its many sea and air links, make Victoria an obvious centre for business development and economic investment, while still offering the quality of life that a smaller city can provide.
