Western Canada- Calgary & Edmonton
Calgary & Edmonton
Diverse welcoming cities
The chic metropolis of Calgary buzzes with innovative energy whilst embracing its rich western and Olympic heritage. The city’ s stand-out landmark is the Calgary Tower. Snap photos from the base of the tower or take a trip to the top to capture 360 degree views from the glass floor and observation deck. Other key attractions include the Heritage Park Historical Village which is Canada’ s largest living history museum, Glenbow Museum, Fort Calgary, which was the first outpost of the North West Mounted Police, and Olympic Plaza where numerous festivals are held. Calgary is also famed for its annual Stampede which is a true wild west extravaganza and attracts millions of visitors. If the urge to shop strikes, try the 17th Ave Retail & Entertainment District which has over 700 unique outlets and, as far as refuelling goes, Calgary has it all, from food trucks to fine dining. Plus, with an astonishing number of craft breweries and a diverse selection of distilleries, Calgary is an excellent place to raise a glass. Alberta’ s capital, Edmonton, is a major cultural centre and young city that loves any excuse to go out on the town. See history brought to life at Fort Edmonton Park, or feed your curiosity at the Royal Alberta Museum. For natural attractions, blaze your own trail through the North Saskatchewan River Valley or, head to Elk Island National Park where you can hang out with free-roaming bison. Edmonton is also a gateway to the Aurora Borealis in the north, with prime viewing spots outside the city limits. For shopping, give your wallet a run for its money at the West Edmonton Mall which is literally the size of a city with over 800 shops, a giant water park, ice rink, mini golf, bowling, a casino and indoor amusement park. The city is also renowned for a world-class culinary scene with a restaurant for every craving.
