Inner Harbour
Victoria’s Inner Harbour is one of the most beautiful locations in the world (in our humble opinion). Its history is rich and the location is paramount to the development of tourism in Victoria, BC.
In 1903, the causeway’s granite retaining wall was erected. This allowed for the development of the famous Empress Hotel by the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1974, the lower causeway was built to create a dedicated pedestrian route away from the traffic along Government street, and to create a public space for visitors and locals alike.
Today, the space is used to host festivals, street performers, markets, restaurant patios, whale and wildlife watching, and ecotourism businesses as well as moorage for recreational vessels.
