5 days in Calgary Itinerary

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

Do some cultural sightseeing at Cave and Basin National Historic Site and Stephen Avenue Walk. Get in touch with nature at Lake Minnewanka and Banff Springs Golf Course. Venture out of the city with trips to Silverton Falls (in Banff National Park) and Banff (Bow Falls, Mountain Galleries at the Fairmont Banff Springs, &more). There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at Glenbow Museum, steep yourself in history at Fort Calgary, head off the coast to Prince's Island Park, and trek along Cory and Edith Passes.
