The capital of British Columbia, Victoria has its origins as a Hudson's Bay Company Fort established by James Douglas. Since then, Victoria has become a gentle city of British tradition with 75,000 lucky residents. Double decker buses, carefully tended gardens and unhurried afternoon tea are indications of Victoria's relationship with its past. Blue waters, beautiful gardens and mild climate make Victoria an ideal location for outdoor adventures and sightseeing. Be sure to visit the world famous Butchart Gardens and to take tea at the Empress Hotel on the waterfront. The Royal British Columbia Museum has some outstanding exhibits depicting the human and natural history of British Columbia. Victoria is the land of gardens, tea and tranquility. Don't forget to bring home some Cuban cigars!!Part or or all of this text stems from the original article at: updated typos Contributors

Question: #3: What is the best way to travel around in Victoria BC? Is it best to rent a car or use the bus system?
This is our first trip to Victoria. We are unsure of the best way to navigate ourselves from the airport in Vancouver to Victoria to Butchart Gardens and other attractions. We have heard that the bus system works about the best and costs less. The ferry ride would be less without a rental car but we don't want to feel "stuck" without transportation. Would love to hear from others who have gone before us and can give us some tips to make our travel more enjoyable. Thank you!
