Nestled in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains is a destination where uncommon energy transforms dreams into reality. Calgary, a young, vibrant city of over one million people, uniquely mixes cosmopolitan flair with genuine hospitality. Revitalize your spirit with the mosaic of experiences available to you in the city at the heart of it all. From a thriving arts and culture scene, and some of the finest dining, shopping and entertainment you’ll find anywhere, we are a city alive with urban sophistication, world-class amenities, and an enduring spirit that says ‘anything is possible here’.

Dining, music, theatre, shopping and sightseeing, it’s all in downtown Calgary and walkable along wide sidewalks in case of inclement weather (the city is one of the sunniest in Canada, but it does happen!), plus 15 overhead skywalks thread through the downtown core in a network that keeps pedestrians warm and dry. And the light rail transit, known as the CTrain, is free of charge in the downtown core, making it convenient to hop on board.

Take a stroll along Eighth Avenue, better known downtown as the Stephen Avenue Walk, which offers fashion-forward shopping, dining (from bistros to patios), art galleries galore and marvelous museums — in short, more than 1,000 shops and facilities. But it’s also a National Historic District, so be sure to look up at the second and third stories of the buildings, to see the architectural details that make this area so unique.
