All About Calgary

The oil boom of the 1960s blasted Calgary from a sleepy little town to a bustling city.  When the bubble burst, Calgarians realized they needed to diversify. In 1988, Calgary became the first Canadian city to host the Winter Olympics and did so with impressive world-class style. Canada Olympic Park still holds training facilities for competitive athletes. In the 1990s, the city once again experienced a growth spurt and blossomed into the cosmopolitan destination it is today.

Calgary vacation packages usually include a trip to the Rocky Mountains. Winter sports and ecotourism are incredibly popular, but, in the summer, fly fishing on the Bow River and golfing are not to be missed. Calgary has also become the home of a thriving music scene, most notably as a country music mecca, sometimes even called "Nashville of the North."

The city's diverse population fosters an interesting mix of museums and restaurants, as well as numerous festivals. Calgary prides itself on its public transportation, as well as its system of multi-use paths for bikers, walkers, and rollers. A large network of parks and green spaces keep the city from feeling too urban despite its recent growth.
