Default Walking in Victoria B C

Hi All,

We're off on our 5 day Coastal Cruise on the Diamond Princess on September
20th. We want to visit the Parliament Buildings and Empress Hotel when
we're in Victoria B.C. Does anyone know if we can walk there from the dock.

Thanks,
Grant Hyde

You will probably dock at Ogden point, so it is about a 30 minute walk. The
Legislature and the Empress are about a block apart. Enjoy yourself. There
is probably a downtown shuttle at the dock.

You can, but it could take a while as it isn't that close (It may take you
30 minutes or so). There are shuttle buses ($5 for the day, I believe) that
will take you where you want to go. Have fun. Victoria is lovely.
