An odd question about Victoria

[aksharp1]

We will be in Victoria on September 20th 5pm-11:59pm. We have an hour long horse-drawn carriage ride reserved for 7pm. Will it be too dark to see the sights? Should we change it to an earlier time? Any help or info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

According to what I found on the Internet, sunset in Victoria on September 20th will be at 7:14 p.m. so it won't be completely dark for some time after that. You should be fine for an hour's sightseeing.

Victoria is very lovely in the evening with the Parliament Buildings and the Empress Hotel all lit up. Going at dusk might just be the best of both worlds.

I agree with the above posts, you will have some light and twilight and many of the buildings and other sights are illuminated. The ones that I have seen over the years will give you a blanket to put on your lap to ward off the coolness of the evening, the side lights of the carriages are faux candle lights so it is very lovey excursion. I wouldn't change a thing.:)

Thank you all so much for your info. I am really looking forward to seeing Victoria. I feel much better about my timing. Thanks again!

Be sure to stop in Rogers Chocolates. Oh my the cremes were delicious. My fav was vanilla creme. Husband liked maple nut.

 

Enjoy!!

They do have a wonderful product but it is not quite as exclusive as it used to be because they have made it available to many shops around the country. Here is a link:
