Calgary holidays. From the colourful Calgary Stampede in July to the pristine purity of January’s new fallen snow, Calgary is a city of contrasts, offering an urban experience at its finest with traditional western ranch life only minutes away. A city that is both old and new, Calgary is clean, sophisticated and affordable. It has a sense of history and it may be the pioneer spirit inherited from their forebears that gives Calgarians a certain freshness, mirrored in the clearest blue skies in North America.
Life in the city offers a whole gamut of live entertainment – from the ballet to rock concerts - as well as a host of art galleries and unique shopping experiences. And if you are here to discover the real Canadian West you won’t be disappointed: Heritage Park, the Glenbow Museum and Fort Calgary all offer authentic displays. Sports fans will enjoy sights from the XV Winter Olympics and Canada Olympic Park.
And don't forget to dress western if you are visiting the Calgary Stampede! Bull riding, saddlebronc, wild cow milking, chuckwagon racing. See it all at the "greatest outdoor show on earth".
