Calgary is an epic place to visit, and it has so much to offer any visitor who comes to its shores, from great shops to culinary delights at any Calgary restaurant. Here are 3 things to sink your teeth into in Calgary.
1. Shop ‘Til You Drop!
If shopping is your cardio and you’ve heard amazing things about Calgary fashion and shopping culture, then don’t worry, we’ve got your plans made! Do you like your high-end luxury brands but are short on time? Hit up the Core Shopping Centre, right in downtown Calgary. It’s a centre with over 130 stores, and you can expect anything from fashion boutiques to jewellery stores to sneaker stores. For those who prefer something more quaint, hit up Inglewood, which is the oldest neighbourhood in Calgary. There are plenty of mom-and-pop shops and art galleries to explore. Also, if you get hungry, there are plenty of eating establishments or just check out the farmers market!
2. Culinary Delights Await!
Let us move on to FOOD! Calgary has the palate for the taste-seeking foodie! One rocket to the heavens is the Sky 360 at the top of the world-famous Calgary Tower. The restaurant spins, offering diners a view of the city and the rocky mountains with each rotation. The locally sourced, Canadian-inspired menu features Alberta beef, game, freshwater fish, and Canadian-sourced produce. Make it a date to remember by making a reservation half an hour to an hour before sunset and specifically requesting a window seat—you won’t be disappointed. Besides that, Calgary is peppered with breweries, cafes, coffee shops, and secret society foodie cults.
3. Get Ready for The Stampede!
Have you ever wanted a good old Western experience that comes with some cowboys bull riding and a festival with food that is certainly not good for you but tastes great? Then buckle up, put on your cowboy hat and boots, and hightail yourself to the Calgary stampede! Get ready for a 10-day extravaganza that will be packed with awesome sights to be seen from the very first day to the very last minute of the tenth day! Just to prove how great the stampede is: it attracts over one million visitors per year and most of them returnees! From concerts, rodeos and First Nation presentations, you are sure to remember every experience you have here!
A Calgary Experience To Remember
So, whether you are shopping for treasures, culinary delights, or going to the Stampede, Calgary is chock full of amazing things just waiting for you! Go out and experience this wonderful location. And have the experience of a lifetime!
