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.

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 Gamres, 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!
