Between its rich oil industry history, wild rodeo roots and modern metropolis, the cosmopolitan city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, proves a top destination for travelers.
See the sites along a fun, nail-biting ride in the Banff Gondola. From the top of Sulphur Mountain in the completely enclosed gondola, you and three friends experience the Canadian Rockies with an unparalleled view.
Grab a drink at the Burwood Distillery, northwest of Nose Creek Pathway. Canada is famous for its libations and Burwood does justice to both local inspiration and European roots.
Get out on the water exploring Lake Minnewanka on the Banff Boat Cruise. The hour-long ride showcases impressive mountain ranges, wildlife and a bit of folklore from the guide.
With a history steeped in rodeos and corrals, Calgary Stampede is a must-visit destination. Plan your visit during the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, July 6–15, and experience First Nation culture, chuck wagon races and, of course, the rodeo.
Mix in a little culture and head to the Aussie Rules Piano Bar for endless music, drinks and dancing. Enjoy dueling pianos, comedy shows, dance routines and variety shows weekly, Thursday–Saturday. It may not look like much from the outside, but it is a wild time on the inside when the performers take the stage.
