Calgary, Canada
Snuggle into Calgary
Where a huge expanse of northern sky and endless plain meets a modern, outward-looking Canadian city. The Rockies dominate the view... meaning excellent winter sports and high-altitude après-ski, Canadian style.

Must see:
Head out of town and travel back in time when you visit the Tsuu T'ina Culture Museum. You’ll learn about the people who roamed Calgary’s plains and battled its bitter winters long before the first European settlers.
Must eat at:
In a city where there’s good food at every turn, head for the River Cafe on Prince’s Island, which has a setting few others can rival. Locally sourced ingredients, relaxed ambience and a late night walk home across the river all add up to a special supper.
Must be there for:
Stampede your way to Calgary for 10 days in early July for the ultimate celebration of cowboy culture – parades, rodeos, concerts and much more.
Well-travelled tips:
· In a city where the average low is below zero five months out of twelve, you’ll want to wrap up warm any time from October to April.
· Try Calgary’s wooded, mountainous hinterland in September for fabulous views and amazing autumnal colours.
