Giddy up for Canada's fun-loving wild west: Calgary! True grit takes centre stage at a rowdy, annual rodeo, earning the city its raucous nickname of Cowtown. When it's not horsing around with cowboys and cowgirls, it's serving up craft beers and original cuisine, stellar shopping and a surprising arts scene. Oh, and did we mention it's near one of Canada's best national parks?Yee-haw!
Visit Calgary: get started
A trip to Calgary should include a stop at top tourist spots like the Calgary Tower, the Calgary Zoo or the Studio Bell. There are exciting Calgary events all year, but pencil in a July visit to catch the Calgary Stampede. Plan a day trip from Calgary that will take you to gorgeous Banff National Park and stellar Lake Louise. We offer bundles with the best Calgary hotels and more!
