Victoria Named Among North America’s Top 10 Fairytale Cities

Travel Off Path said Victoria’s British colonial charm and waterfront landmarks helped it rank seventh on a North American list of fairytale cities.

  • On October 31, Travel Off Path released its list of 10 'Fairytale Cities' in North America, ranking Victoria seventh among destinations in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The list highlights cities offering European-style experiences without the need for a transatlantic flight.
  • Quebec City claimed the top spot on the list, while Guanajuato ranked second and San Miguel de Allende took third place. Other recognized destinations included Leavenworth, Solvang, Carmel-by-the-Sea, St. Augustine, Lunenburg, and Ouray.
  • The report cites Victoria's double-decker buses, traditional afternoon tea services, and British-style pubs as examples of European influence. The Parliament Buildings overlooking the Inner Harbour contribute to the city's regal, old-world atmosphere.
  • Travel Off Path editor Tyler Fox recommended visiting a local waterfront pub for fish and chips rather than expensive tourist experiences. Located on Vancouver Island, Victoria 'holds onto its British roots hard,' Fox wrote.
  • Three Canadian destinations appeared in the ranking, helping travellers find European-inspired experiences closer to home. The inclusion adds to Victoria's appeal for those seeking coastal scenery and historic architecture.
