Calgary

Nestled at the base of the Canadian Rockies, Calgary boasts a frontier attitude and historic neighborhoods that buzz with bravado. From contemporary arts centres, beloved music districts and avant-garde architecture, to a bustling food scene that pours out of brick heritage buildings and back-alley cantinas, Calgary is well-versed in mingling the old with the new. The tastes of this city are also diverse—flapper pie (a prairie classic), locally sourced steak (sired by the restaurant’s own bull), chips-and-curry and banh mi are just a few highlights. Venture further afield to discover dinosaur country or explore Kananaskis, channelling your inner pioneering spirit.
