Calgary, Alberta

The Old West spirit is alive and well in Calgary, where cowboy hats and line dancing are always in fashion. The Calgary Stampede festival put this Alberta city on the map, but the city's role as the first Canadian host of the Winter Olympics in 1988 has solidified its place as one of Canada's top destinations. Calgary is Alberta's biggest city and has all the hospitality options such as hotels, restaurants, and other niceties that accompany a flush urban center and has enjoyed great prosperity since the 1990s. Calgary's proximity to Banff, the Rocky Mountains, ice fields, and other natural sensations are also a big draw to the region.
