More than 100 years ago, this place was just an old limestone quarry. Now, it’s transformed into a stunning “sunken garden” that’s received millions of visitors.
For the festive season, you can stroll along illuminated pathways “festooned with traditional garlands,” according to their website.
They also have the Twelve Days of Christmas displays throughout the garden and a coffee shop where you can warm up with fireside hot chocolate and gingerbread.
So if you have some time off this December and have no plans yet, a last-minute Victoria trip to see the lights could be the ultimate holiday getaway.
