Calgary, Alberta

Safe, clean, and cosmopolitan, Calgary is an engaging mix of big-city culture, genuine hospitality and uncommon energy.

A city where ideas generate action and dreams become reality, where people from around the world come to experience adventure, rich western heritage, pioneering traditions and the majestic Canadian Rockies.

Incorporating a one or two-night stay in your itinerary gives you the chance to experience Calgary’s lively cultural scene, from cutting-edge performances and colourful festivals to exceptional dining, stylish bars and independent boutiques. With its sunny skies, moderate climate and no provincial sales tax, Calgary is an appealing destination for both leisure and business travellers alike.

Less than an hour’s drive from the pristine wilderness of Banff National Park, Calgary offers the best of both worlds. You can enjoy dynamic city life before venturing into the spectacular landscapes of the Canadian Rockies, the dramatic Badlands and hoodoos, rolling foothills and vast prairie scenery.

The world-famous Calgary Stampede, attracting over a million visitors each year, is just one of the city’s standout attractions.

Calgary is a vibrant gateway to Western Canada and a fantastic addition to any of our tailor-made Canada holidays.
