Winnipeg trip planner

At the confluence of two rivers, Winnipeg started out as a small trading post in an area inhabited by indigenous tribes for thousands of years before the European arrival. With a modern skyline rising out of the sprawling Canadian prairie, the city now serves as a major center of tourism and transportation, offering visitors a range of both indoor and outdoor experiences. A well-rounded tour of Winnipeg usually includes a visit to a few of the city's ethnically diverse neighborhoods, which boast colorful outdoor markets, sidewalk cafes, family-run bakeries, and cozy restaurants. Winnipeg also serves as a good starting point for exploring the rest of Manitoba, which features many pristine natural areas ideal for canoeing, cycling, fishing, and cross-country skiing.
