<\/a><\/p>\nAfter the land we had just one day before take the car and start the tour. So only a few hours to get a sample of this city on a beautiful sunny day.<\/p>\n
First step, find the motel from the aeroport to the 16th avenue. Then, a little walk around the city. Good surprise, near the motel the “c-train”, The light rail transit system in calgary (LRT) who can take you easely to downtown.<\/p>\n Very soon we can saw the Calgary Tower (191m\/626f) between the skycrapers, and enjoy the Olympic Plaza ( yes, i almost forgot that Calgary hosted the winter olympic games on 1988).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The beautiful old building of the City Hall and the Municipal Building are very near and you can enjoy the contrast of two diferents architectures close to other atractions.<\/p>\n The Stephen Avenue Walk: a major pedestrian mall in dowtown, hotels, caf\u00e9s, pubs and bars.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the Barclay Mall towards Prince’s Park. Here and there you can see some aereal walkways from one building to another: curius fact, Calgary have the world’s biggest aerean net, like peaton bridges, the “+15” because they’re 15 feet high.<\/p>\n Finally, the Prince’s Park. Developed on an island on the Bow river, linked by three bridges to Eau Claire and Downtown and another one to the north. The park hosts many festivals, we enjoyed the Taste of Calgary Festival, a sample of food and beverages with live entertainement.<\/p>\n No much time, must left the sunny gardens and skygrapers and come back to the motel and prepare the road trip to Vancouver.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Cowtown” Calgary, the Stampede City.
