12 days in Calgary Itinerary

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

Get out of town with these interesting Calgary side-trips: Banff National Park (Sulphur Mountain & Johnston Canyon), Banff (Lake Minnewanka, Banff Avenue, &more) and Royal Tyrrell Museum (in Drumheller). There's much more to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at The Calgary Zoo, enjoy breathtaking views from Calgary Tower, step off the mainland to explore Prince's Island Park, and contemplate the waterfront views at Bow River.
