Calgary

The site of the 1988 Winter Olympics, Calgary offers the perfect blend of winter sports, breathtaking scenery and a fascinating range of museums in its hospitable city centre. Calgary’s popularity is enhanced by being the gateway to the spectacular Rocky Mountains and the Banff National Park, a vast outdoor space where you can revel in the natural variety that Canada has to offer. It is also within driving distance of Drumheller in the ‘badlands’, home to hiking trails and dinosaur bones. With an attractive downtown area containing plentiful green spaces and upmarket areas filled with boutiques and bars, Calgary is an essential stop on any Canadian itinerary.
