Situated in the west of
Canada in the province of
Alberta,
Calgary is a cosmopolitan and
sophisticated modern city which has a lively feel and a friendly atmosphere
A likeable and booming place, whose downtown skyscrapers soared almost overnight on the back of an oil bonanza in
the 1970s, Calagry's tight high-rise core is good for wandering, and contains the prestigious Glenbow Museum. The
wooden houses of the far-flung suburbs, meanwhile, recall the city's pioneering frontier origins, which are further
celebrated in the annual Calgary Stampede, a hugely popular cowboy carnival in which the whole town - and hordes
of tourists - revel in a boots-and-stetson image that's still very much a way of life in the surrounding cattle
country.
Calgary has a very wide range of attractions and activities to offer the tourist and visitors who come on
business.Some of the tourist attractions includes
the Calgary Tower, Denonian Gardens and the Calgary Science Centre.
