The largest city in Alberta, Canada is Calgary and it makes for a great getaway whether you like sports, fine dining, water sports, art or shopping. You will also find plenty of top notch Hotels in Calgary Alberta to help make your vacation more enjoyable.
A few of the top things to do and see in Calgary are:
- Canada Olympic Park – This was the home of the 1988 Winter Olympics and should be on the top of your list for places to go in Calgary. You can ski, snowboard or luge all day and night and there are plenty of spots for beginners just learning these sports.
- Next I would head to the Calgary Tower, jump inside the high-speed elevator to the top and enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the city. The tower is 190 meters tall and the symbol of identity in Calgary.
- If you would like to see how life in Calgary was from 1875 to 1940, you definitely need to check out Fort Calgary. This is something you just don’t see on an average vacation.
- If you are into amusement parks, Calgary offers you Calaway Park. This is Western Canada’s largest outdoor amusement park with 33 rides for you to enjoy over a span of 160 acres.
Once you decide what you want to do on your trip to Calgary, you should have no problem finding a Hotel in Calgary Alberta that fits your needs and price range. A few of my favorite places to stay in Calgary would be; The Sheraton Cavalier Hotel that offers a spectacular view of the Downtown area and, The Fairmont Palliser, which is a historic landmark.
