If you're looking for a perfect fall getaway, you might want to add Victoria, BC to your list. This charming Canadian city was recently named one of the world’s coziest cities to visit this fall, making it the perfect place to live out your Gilmore Girl dreams.
The ranking, created by AllClear, took into account the number of cafes and bookstores per square mile, Instagram posts with 'cozy' mentioned in them, plus the amount of rainfall a city gets, giving each spot an overall 'cozy score' out of 100.
Known for its mild weather, beautiful scenery, and relaxed vibe, it’s no wonder Victoria is standing out as a top spot to enjoy autumn. The B.C. city came in at eighth place, and Vancouver was the only other Canadian spot to make the list, at 11th place.
For Victoria, its stunning scenery, cozy cafés, and quaint, historic streets definitely helped it earn its place on the list.
