During our visit, the weather in Calgary was in the high 70’s so it’s perfect for us to hit the ground and visit some of their top attractions. Our first stop was Calgary Tower which is a stone throw away from Hyatt Regency hotel.

Calgary Tower is a 626 feet free-standing observation tower originally called the Husky Tower. This tower opened to the public in 1968 as the tallest structure in Calgary and the tallest in Canada outside Toronto. The tower was built at a cost of $3.5M Canadian dollars. This tower underwent significant renovations between 1987 and 1990. It so awesome to experience this breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the city overlooking the majestic Rocky Mountains. Make sure you don’t miss this top attraction when visiting the city of Calgary.

Prince’s Island Park is an oasis which sits in the Bow River and is connected to the north and south banks of the river by footbridges. This park is a popular destination for city residents because it offers something for everyone. One of their amenities is childen’s playground so we decided to give Abby some play time while enjoying the open green spaces of this beautiful park.

You are now seeing what is known as Stephen Avenue Walk which is a pedestrian mall. Occupying three blocks of downtown’s 8th avenue, Stephen Avenue Walk is one of the city’s most popular shopping venues. This serves as a cultural hub, tourist attraction, a business district and a vibrant place situated in the heart of Calgary.

Prominently displayed in front of the Bow building on 6th Avenue is a 39-foot tall bent-wire statue of a young girl’s head. This sculpture was created by artist Jaume Plensa. The portrait represents hope and our potential as humans fostered by our dreams. This is very large and eye catching especially at night. Here’s the exterior of the Calgary tower. In 2014, an LED multicolor exterior lighting system was added. Since its addition, this became more noticeable part of the city skyline at night.

Peace Bridge is a bridge that accommodates people walking and cycling across the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The bridge was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and opened in 2012.

The City of Calgary built the bridge to connect the southern Bow River pathway and Downtown Calgary with the northern Bow River pathway and the community of Sunnyside. This connection was designed to accommodate the increasing number of people commuting to and from work and those utilizing Calgary's pathways.
