5 days in Calgary Itinerary

Known as the "Stampede City" thanks to its world-famous annual rodeo, Calgary remains a tale of two cities.

Venture out of the city with trips to Banff (Cave and Basin National Historic Site, Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, &more), Banff National Park ( Sunshine Village & Johnston Canyon) and Nature & Wildlife Tours (in Canmore). There's much more to do: take in panoramic vistas at Calgary Tower, sample the tasty concoctions at Minhas Brewery, see the interesting displays at Glenbow Museum, and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.
