about Calgary
The city of Calgary is affectionately known as “CowTown”. This cosmopolitan metropolis in southern Alberta has everything a traveller could want in a destination spot. Here you can find all sorts of culture and art as you experience the history of downtown. The city’s rapid growth is due to its status at the Centre of Canada’s Oil industry.
One of the most well-known attractions is its yearly event, the Stampede. Every year it features unique food, shopping, fair-style rides and of course, The Rodeo! Calgary is also home to die-hard hockey fans and the NHL team, the Calgary Flames.
Calgary is also a stone’s throw from the Rocky Mountains, one of Canada’s greatest wonders. You can get in touch with nature or drink in the rich history of the national park of Banff. Calgary is truly the best combination of inner-city and nature.
