Parking Behind the Royal BC Museum
The closest named option is the Robbins pay-parking lots behind the Royal BC Museum, with access from Superior Street (Hotel Grand Pacific). This puts the car park directly behind the museum rather than on the main Belleville Street frontage, which is useful when you are carrying bags or planning a short visit.
Limited parking is available behind the museum, while underground parking is available at the nearby Government Street Garage (Vancouver Island Bucket List). The Robbins lots are the site-specific choice, but limited availability means drivers may need to use the Government Street option when the rear lots are full.
