In 1991, the Department of Tourism identified Victorias Milling Company as one of the major tourist attractions in the city with its 18 hole golf course sprawling over a 30 hectare area, the Saint Joseph the Worker Parish, famous for its Angry Christ mural, antique locomotive popularly known as the “Iron Dinosaur”.

Aside fromVMC, Victorias City is proud of its public plaza known for its imposing landscape and grounds that features a skating rink, SK and Senior pavilion, children’s playground and a mini lagoon ringed by plants and flowers; the seat of local government, the City Hall of Victorias has quite an imposing facade. Inside, the second floor lobby has elicited appreciation from visitors for its hotel-like ambience. Victorias City-Negros Occidental, is home to one scenic place that has great potential as a major tourist attraction. This is the Seven Natural Falls of Gawahon, located at Barangay XI. It\’s clear waters provide excitement and enchantment to those who would like to take a plunge in icy cold and invigorating water. In addition, Gawahon is a pristine forest with assorted flora and fauna to delight nature lovers.A beautiful view of man-made rice terraces may also be glimpsed in the area. Gawahon was the subject of a bill filed by former Congresswoman Edith Yotoko-Villanueva for creation as an ECO-TOURISM zone once in operation, the tourism potential of the place will be enhanced and its natural beauty preserved, further boosting the tourism industry of the city and Negros Island

The City of Victorias has a sloping and rolling terrain. The steeply descending hills from Barangay Gawahon gradually level off as they approach San Jose Estado, thus forming some sort of a plateau. Rolling hills can also be found in Hacienda Maria and Nasipunan. There is a forest glade at the northeast end of Mt. Silay with deep rivers, streams and creeks. The land pattern of the city as a whole has plenty of sloping land in mid-section going toward the mountains.

The terrain from Barangay Gawahon down to Hacienda Teson is sloping with steep ascent, but from San Jose Estado it is plain and forming a sort of plateau.

The City proper site is impressive. The lay of the land can be appreciated as you walk along Osmeña Avenue (a portion of the national highway) formerly called Calle Real. The newly developed city plaza which is reputed to be one of the most beautiful (plaza) in Negros Occidental, features a skating rink, SK Pavillion, Senior Citizens Pavillion and the children’s playground. The flowering plants such as anthuriums, roses, the verdant vegetation and manicured landscape are meticulously cared for by staff of the Victorias City Plaza Development Authority directed by its President, Mrs. Remedios P. Bantug, now City Mayor of Victorias.

Predominant rolling hills where the present renovated city hall now stands are bounded in the north by the winding Magnanud River and in the south by the Guinpana-an Creek. The city is composed of valleys, rolling hills and the ever present small streams and rivers that wind along the vast sugarcane plantations. While the southern portion enjoys humus sandy loan soil because of the flat terrain, the northern portion of the city is hilly and has a sticky Guinbala-on clay soil. Fortunately, these types of soil are suited for sugarcane plantation.

In 1990, the NSO reported a total population of 69,892, then Municipality of Victorias with the annual growth rate of 2.2%. The preliminary report of the 1995 Census of Population reported 77,558 which resulted to a reduction in the annual growth rate to 2.1% assuming that the annual growth rate will remain at 2.2%, its population will reach 96,870 in the year 2005.

The city is endowed with an invigorating climate which accounts for its healthy population and vigorous economic activity.The hot days of summer in the months of April, May and 1st days of June are offset by the cool North westerly wind from Guimaras Strait. In the upper portion, the weather is suited for crops and other farm vegetables. More farm animals are produced with such climate.For annual rainfall distribution, there are 217 wet days and 148 dry days in the city based on the prevailing records. The city has a “type 3” rainfall having the months of June, July, August, September and October as the rainy periods and starts subsiding the month of November.

There are 2 ports in the city, the Daan Banwa wharf and the privately owned port of VMC. The VMC dock handles shipping requirements of the sugar central such as loading of its produced sugar into barges for distribution to various parts of the country, while Daan Banwa wharf caters to passengers bound to and from Culasi Ajuy, Iloilo City. There are 2 passenger vessels: the ROVI Navigation and Seven Seas which operate with frequency trips of 2 to 3 times daily. Thus, Daan Banwa wharf serves as the entry point of numerous agricultural products particularly rice coming from the various town of Panay Island.

With devolution of the management of Daan Banwa port to the Local Government Unit, rehabilitation of the port for a wider accommodation of goods and passengers will be realized.

The VMC golf course and country club is a nice place for relaxation because of its quiet and invigorating atmosphere.At present, Victorias City has 3 gymnasiums (city gym, La Salle gym and DBTI gym); 18-hole golf course, 21 basketball courts, and 2 athletic fields. Victorias City hosted a number of municipal (city), district, provincial and regional athletic meets.

The city celebrates its Charter Anniversary with Kadalag-an Festival – a dance drama as old as the city, conceptualized during the 1st charter anniversary. It is an emerging festival of Victorias that showcases streetdancers in colorful costumes. It is a week-long activity in celebration of the city’s Charter Anniversary that ends March 21.

Halaran is a festival in honor of Our Lady of Victory (the city’s Patroness) with a fluvial parade of images of the Patroness along the shoreline of the City as one of the highlights. This festivity ends April 26.
