The Best Hotels In Calgary For Business Travelers, 2020

A crucial part of Canada’s oil industry, Calgary is an important business center of North America. With about 2,300 hours of sun every year, Calgary is the sunniest among Canada’s major cities. It also has the highest per capita GDP in the country. Just like Vancouver, Calgary is among the most livable cities in the world. The city’s average age of 36 is a testament to the young and vibrant character of this city.

In spite of all those modern skyscrapers, Calgary is still referred to as Cowtown thanks to its extensive grassland. Calgary is specially known for the “Calgary Stampede”, an event held annually in July. The Stampede boasts of having the largest rodeo in the world. It also features some outdoor concerts, an exhibition, and an energetic stage show.  It is also regarded as the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”!

At a height of 191 meters, spectators can see majestic views of the city from the top of the Calgary Tower, thanks to the glass floor and a rotating restaurant.

The Heritage Park Historical Village is a pioneer-era village with reconstructed historical buildings. The Gasoline Alley Museum is popular for its unique vehicles. The scenic Prince’s Island Park and Eau Claire Market are located close to each other. The Fish Creek Provincial Park has lovely walking trails.

The Rocky Mountaineer Rail Tour takes you to the winter resort in Banff. It provides glorious views of the Three Sisters mountain peaks on its way. Lake Louise, Rogers Pass, and Horse Pass are good day trip options here.

Studio Bell is arguably the most prominent symbol of music in Canada. It is also home to various music-related attractions such as the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame Collection, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

There are numerous museums for you to explore. You should visit the Hangar Flight Museum, the Military Museums, and the Glenbow Museum.
