Pacific Northwest - British Columbia

Parliament Buildings

A Karen Brown Recommendation

The Parliament Buildings at 501 Belleville Street will surely remind you of London. Victoria is the seat of the provincial government of British Columbia; and visitors are welcome to amble about these structures from June until Labor Day between 9 am and 5 pm, and between 9 am and 4 pm the rest of the year. There are also free, guided tours every hour. During assembly sessions, you may observe the proceedings from public galleries on the third floor. Lined in thousands of tiny, white lights, these buildings are particularly fetching at night. An imposing bronze likeness of Queen Victoria guards the plaza in front, and a gilt statue of Captain George Vancouver tops the central dome.
