Calgary Was NOT What We Expected... Don't Make Our Mistake! 🇨🇦

Downtown Calgary nearly didn't make the cut 😱. We almost left Calgary after the first few hours...and that would have been our biggest mistake in Alberta! Forget everything you think you know about Calgary. While most travellers use it as a quick stopover before Banff, the city has a completely different side that most visitors walk straight past. In this Calgary vlog, we explore downtown Calgary , the Calgary Tower, Princes Island Park, and the hidden corners that made us want to stay. Whether you're planning a visit to Calgary, driving the Icefields Parkway, or booking your first Canada travel trip — this honest Calgary travel guide shows you exactly why this city deserves more than a one-night stopover. If you're figuring out what to see in Calgary or where to go in Alberta, don't skip this one. ✈️ Tom & Nikki — part-time world travellers. Full-time 9-5 workers.
