3 Reasons to Travel to Calgary


1) Big city feel while being close to nature - you can get the best of both worlds. Stay in the city and still be minutes from the mountains!


2) Lots of hidden gems - the Calgary food and coffee scene is laden with hidden gems that are just waiting for you to enjoy them. Think a coffee shop whose baristas have won multiple World Baristas Championships and a Japanese gastropub run by a finalist in Netflix’s cooking competition “The Final Table.” Maybe go for afternoon tea at a boutique-style restaurant or take in rooftop views while sipping on a smoky old fashioned.


3) There is something for everyone - whether you’re on a solo trip (?) or wrangling small children (Calgary Zoo), this city as something for every kind of traveler. If you’re adventurous (cold plunge) or you like to be pampered (SKA spa), there are options for you!
