Calgary Attractions

A city of contrasts and cosmopolitan flair, Calgary, the largest city in Alberta, offers world-class experiences at a wide range of distinctive sights and attractions year round. Spread over a vast geographical area, the city offers the best of all worlds: a bustling inner-city area, sprawling urban parks, vibrant cultural venues and ample opportunities for recreation and family fun. A combination of old and new creates a well-rounded and unique travel experience; the city nurtures a deep connection to its Western heritage, fused with a dynamic and burgeoning metropolitan landscape.

PLACES OF INTEREST

Split into four quadrants with a grid-style street pattern in its inner core, the city makes for relatively easy navigation of its unique districts and neighbourhoods. Calgary's first community, Inglewood, located just east of downtown, was established at the end of the 19th century and is now home to numerous shops and restaurants housed in turn-of-the-century edifices. On the north side of the Bow River and within walking distance to downtown, Kensington is another trendy district offering shopping, dining, cosy cafes and entertaining summer street festivals.

An epicentre of events, entertainment and unique market-style shopping in the core is Eau Claire Market, located next to Prince's Island, one of the city's top natural destinations. Stretching along Eighth Avenue from Macleod Trail Southeast to Third Street Southwest, the Stephen Avenue Walk pedestrian corridor is lined with shops, restaurants, impressive public art, unique sandstone architecture and, in summer, street entertainers and vendors.

CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS

Visitors need not look far for cultural attractions in Calgary; a full spectrum of intriguing locales call the city home, including family-friendly historic sites and interpretive centres, premiere art galleries, performing arts centres and museums.
