Calgary AB

We took a trip to Calgary, a cosmopolitan Alberta city. It’s the 3rd largest city in Canada. We did our own audio walking city tour using a travel app which was great. A lot of fun factoids about historical sites in the city. A few of our favs:

Calgary Tower (formerly the husky tower) was constructed in 1967 and 60% of the structure is below ground. Was the highest building until 1984.

The Galleria trees (or 10 Trees) are cool works of art along Stephen Avenue. The shape helps reduce the wind factor amongst the buildings which makes them functional and cool to look at - dual purpose👍🏻

The Bow Building is a skyscraper downtown and has a unique crescent shape. It was the tallest building in the city until 2016. Currently ranks 2nd. There are great views of the Bow River which runs through the city. The building is also known for the Wonderland Sculpture located at the front of the building. A huge face that represents Hope and Dreams. You can enter the structure and the view is fresh perspective 😎Read more
