Victoria Shopping
Victoria is a shopper's delight.
You can spend days just browsing the
variety
of touristy gift shops around the Inner Harbour and Government Street.
I think this is the main reason why Sandra's family wanted to come to
Victoria!
Most shops and department stores close
at 5:30, M-S, but are open later on Thursdays and Fridays. The
touristy shops are all open on Sunday. Government Street is the
main drag for tourists, while Market Square and Johnson Street offer
additional shopping. Department stores line all the routes into
the city, including all the chain stores you can shake a stick at.
The shopping here is subject to the
U.S. exchange rates of the time, but the good news is that if you buy
over $50 per receipt, you can get all your GST tax back when you leave
the country. Another way to save money is to pick up an
Entertainment Book, where you can save 50% at a wide variety of
shops.
The links below will give you an overview
of Victoria shopping.
