Inner Harbour (Victoria)

The Inner Harbour is the historic maritime heart of Victoria, a sheltered basin framed by the Parliament Buildings, a grand château-style hotel and a curving causeway lined with buskers and artists. Seaplanes, harbour ferries and pleasure craft come and go against a backdrop of Edwardian architecture. The waterfront promenade is a favourite gathering place for festivals and evening strolls. As the ceremonial front door of the provincial capital, the harbour blends working port, tourism and civic display.
