Calgary
El viaje...
You’ll get a warm welcome to Canada in Calgary, a traditional cowboy town that’s a sprawling mass of malls and skyscrapers with the Rockies right on your doorstep. The best way to see the city is by bike using the 500 miles of city cycle paths. Take a bike tour of Stanley Park and you’ll quickly get a feel for Calgary. No visit is complete without a trip up the Calgary Tower and breakfast at Tim Hortons – it’s vital that you discover their coffee and doughnuts at the start of the trip as they’ll become a dietary staple.
La carretera que sale de Calgary es plana, pero verá cumbres nevadas a medida que se acerca al parque nacional
When the sun sets, head to Stephen Avenue, which has a lively buzz from the dozens of pavement cafes and restaurants. Charcut is a hip steakhouse and serves up cuts of meat fit for the cowboy collective – try the bison brisket, beech mushrooms, boar bacon and sour cream with polenta. For something a bit more refined, River Cafe in Prince’s Island Park is a chic eatery in a leafy setting serving up moreish seasonal Canadian dishes.
