Nocturnal diversions in Victoria are tame compared to Vancouver's, but there's more to the town than its tearooms and chintzy shops initially suggest. Highbrow tastes are surprisingly well catered for, and there's a smattering of
live music
venues and
discos
to keep you happy for the limited time you're likely to spend in the city.
Jazz
is particularly popular - for information on the city's jazz underground, contact the Victoria Jazz Society, 250-727 Johnson St (tel 388-4423).
Listings
appear in the main daily newspaper, the
Times-Colonist
and in a variety of free magazines you can pick up in shops, cafes and hotels.
Tickets
for most offerings are available from the city's main performance space, the McPherson Playhouse, 3 Centennial Square, Pandora Avenue and Government Street (tel 386-6121). Other useful information
