Calgary and Edmonton
Overview
Combine Calgary and Edmonton on this Alberta city twin centre. Explore the cowboy city of Calgary, ascend the Calgary Tower and visit the scene of Eddie the Eagles exploits at the Winsport Olympic Park. Experience the lovely laid-back city of Edmonton, perhaps taking a walking tour through the beautiful Edmonton River Valley or learn about the pioneer heritage and fur trading roots of this charming city. You can also venture outside the city limits, we can arrange a day trip to Banff from Calgary.
Our suggestion is four nights in Calgary followed by three nights in Edmonton, but you can change this to suit you. You can choose different hotels and we’ll create an itinerary that’s perfect for you. (TM)
