Set in the rolling foothills against the majestic Canadian Rockies to the west and the great plains to the east, Calgary offers visitors the experience of two exciting worlds - stimulating, big-city life and wilderness adventure. Get away for a day or two of adventure in the Canadian Rockies. Spring ski in the high country or golf in a green valley on the same day. Camp by a lake or relax at a mountain resort in Kananaskis Country. Enjoy a perfect ski and spa winter vacation at a castle-like hotel. Trail ride, heli-hike, fish, mountain-bike, whitewater raft or simply enjoy the freshness of the mountain air. Experience the natural charm of the communities and attractions that are just a short drive from the city. Join in a dinosaur dig at the world-famous Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology or learn about the buffalo hunting culture of the Plains Indians at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Find out about the cowboys who rode the plains at the Bar U Ranch and the Western Heritage Centre. Calgary's visitor attractions, events and festivals are guaranteed to keep the whole family entertained. Spend a day at the zoo with its outstanding botanical garden and prehistoric park or tour the 1988 Winter Olympic sites. Visit Spruce Meadows, an international-calibre equestrian facility, during one of their major events. Check out the views of the mountains and the city from the top of the Calgary Tower; try your luck at a casino. Cheer on your favorite team at a live hockey, baseball or football game. Walk, jog, bike or in-line skate along the paths that follow Calgary's two sparkling rivers. Stop in at the Eau Claire Market for a cappuccino or some fresh bagels. Float over the city in a hot-air balloon on a warm summer morning. Enjoy Calgary's sophisticated shopping, theatre, art galleries, symphony, ballet and opera. Sample every cuisine imaginable - from the exotic offerings of the Far East to the latest food experiences served up in beautifully restored restaurants. |
