Calgary is a modern Canadian city and the petroleum hub of the country located at the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. The Bow River flows through the city, and its banks are lined with several parks, such as Pearce Estate Park. A visit to St. Patrick’s Island and Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo can be planned for a fun family outing. If you’re planning to visit in summer, the annual Calgary Stampede in July cannot be missed. For panoramic views across the city, visitors should take an elevator to the 191 m (626.64 ft) high observation deck at Calgary Tower. It also includes a glass-bottom walking path. Fort Calgary offers a brush with history and even conducts walking tours and workshops. Skip traditional hotels when visiting Calgary and choose a unique themed property instead.
