Buckle up for Canada's fun-loving and cosmopolitan wild west: Calgary! True grit takes centre stage at a rowdy, annual rodeo, once earning the city the 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, multi-cultural festivals and a surprising arts scene. Oh, and did we mention it's near one of Canada's best national parks?Yee-haw!
