DELICIOUS DISHES AND
CRAFT CREATIONS
Hungry after all that activity? One of
Calgary’s best restaurants, River Café,
honours the finest seasonal Canadian
ingredients with artistry and innovation.
Its Prince’s Island location on the
Bow River only adds to the magic.
When you’re done, it’s time to explore
Calgary’s burgeoning craft beer scene.
Don’t know where to start? Call the
folks at Calgary Brewery Tours and get
them to show you the most creative
beverages in town.
VIEW FROM THE TOP
Don’t leave it too late to head out
for dinner, because tonight you’re
accompanying great food with a
panoramic view from the top of Calgary
Tower at Sky 360. Order a glass of
champagne to sip as the sun sets then
watch the city illuminate below as you
sample the locally inspired menu.
THE NEED FOR SPEED
If you’re someone who becomes an
expert on aerial skiing and the luge
during the Winter Olympics, you should
head straight to WinSport for a morning
of pure adrenaline. During 1988, this was
one of the venues for the Olympic Winter
Games. Now visitors can go there to test
their skills year-round. In summer, try the
zipline, mountain biking or skyline luge.
Winter activities include snowboarding,
bobsleigh and tubing.LOCAL HISTORY TIME
Get a taste of local history in the
afternoon. During summer, there’s the
chance to hire a car and head south to
Bar U Ranch, a living museum where you
can find out what life was like for working
cowboys in the Old West. Otherwise, in
the heart of Calgary is Glenbow Museum,
which presents the history, art and
culture of western Canada.SET OUT ON 17TH
Whether you want to do a little late-
afternoon shopping or are ready to
hit the after-dark scene, 17th Avenue
is the place to be. Wander along
window shopping in the boutiques,
then have a beer on the patio at Trolley- When hunger strikes, take a seat at
the industrial-cool Model Milk. Once a
dairy, this restaurant is now the place to
try local and regional produce treated
simply to showcase its incredible
flavour. When you’re done, sample
the local music scene at the Ship &
Anchor or Morgan’s Pub. If cocktails at
a speakeasy are more your style, find
the hidden door to Betty Lou’s Library,
where all the drinks are inspired by
famous authors.
