| Victoria getaway: both traditional and modern  From old world buildings to modern IMAX shows, from afternoon tea to organic culinary feasts, from horse-drawn carriage rides to wild jet boat rides, Victoria offers a wide range of traditional and modern. Any first-time visit to Victoria should always include some of the city's renowned sites and experiences. It is with good reason that the Parliament building and the Fairmont Empress Hotel are the two most photographed buildings in British Columbia. If you spend any time on the waterfront, you can't miss them. Both buildings were designed around 1900 by architect Francis Rattenbury. Their aristocratic presence dominates the harbor. Parliament is especially spectacular as evening approaches; its entire façade is outlined with 3,300 lights and creates a wonderful spectacle as it reflects off the still harbor waters.
