Calgary, Canada is a winter sports destination and a locus of oil wealth at the southern end of the province of Alberta. The city hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics and is home to the annual Calgary Stampede, the largest outdoor rodeo in the world. Visitors can get a birds-eye view of Calgary from the observation deck of the Calgary Tower or from a booth in the tower’s revolving restaurant. Back on the ground, the shopping and sightseeing doesn’t get much better than a walk down historic Stephen Avenue or through Calgary’s Chinatown. Just outside of the city, visitors can tour Calgary’s Olympic Park or experience living history at Heritage Park.
The best Calgary hotels are downtown, but good budget hotels can be found near the airport, and nice, cheap hotels can be found tucked away here and there throughout the city.
