Calgary
Western Canada gets to check in with the royal couple July 6-8, when Will and Kate make their way to Calgary.
| Why visit: Lively, energetic and growing rapidly, Calgary is a great introduction to western Canada. No longer full of cowboys and saloons, this now-cosmopolitan city has something to offer the most discerning traveller. |
What to see and do
- Heritage Park Historical Village: Step into the past and check out 26 acres of buildings from 1915 or earlier. Ride a steam train, take a spin on the trolley and check out what life in western Canada would have been like at the turn of the century.
- Calgary Tower: Open since 1968, the Calgary Tower has become one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and a popular tourist attraction. Step onto the glass floor and look down 525 feet – if you dare.
- Canada Olympic Park: The Olympics came to Canada in 1988 for the first time. Check out where all the action was and enjoy fun summer activities like mountain biking, ziplining and mini golf.
