The ULTIMATE Calgary TRAVEL GUIDE 2024

Thank you for watching the ULTIMATE TRAVEL GUIDE to the City of Calgary. This video explores how to get here, how to get around, where to stay, where to eat and what there is to do in this remarkable Canadian City.

2024 Calgary Stamped Dates: July 5 - 14.

Calgary, Canada is one of the greatest Cities to visit in North America - yes, it absolutely is. And I don't say that just because I worked for Tourism Calgary for more than 10 years (perhaps I am a little biased).

The City offers convenient access to Banff and the Canadian Rockies yes, and okay, it has the Calgary Stampede and was the host of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, but there is so much more to see in this incredible place.

The top attractions in the City include the Calgary Stampede, Heritage Park, the Calgary Zoo, Telus Spark Science Centre, the Calgary Tower, Stephen Avenue Walk, the Wonderland Sculpture, Fort Calgary and more!

I live in Calgary, and honestly its a pretty nice place (other than the winters). I find that places near the west coast (like Vancouver, Seattle, etc.) have milder winters which I personally enjoy.

Despite its limited showing on this video, the best destination in all of Calgary is by far Heritage Park.

[nelsonboyce]

You can’t reach Calgary by train. The only passenger railway doesn’t come through. Only goes to Edmonton.

[doriancroatia]

Thank you very much for the presentation. I have a question, I'm interested to visit Calgary from EU next year because I find the city quite interesting, but I am not that much into nature...would it be by any means "strange" if I only come to visit the city itself? If I figured correctly, most visitors only use it as an escape point to Banff. Once again great work :)
