Walking is good for Victoria. A majority of the hotels and a majority the attractions are within the downtown area and Inner Harbour. These places, aren't worth taking a car as you have to worry about parking. The two big things outside of that area I can think of are the casino - that has a free shuttle bus, a Buchard Gardens - that you can take a bus tour of. But, that is a half day to full day event in itself. If you are going on a 2 day trip, Buchard would then be half your plans, verses sticking around the Innner Harbour and doing several other things.



And yes. Public transportation is great in Victoria. Most routes leave from downtown. The average is 15 to 30 minutes between buses. Longer routes aren't as well covered, or in off periods.
