Calgary has developed into a bit of a sprawling city, but for most travelers, the best places to stay is in the Kensington Village, steps from downtown action across the Bow River, close to sightseeing, events, and shopping venues. You’ll find this area also offers the best choices of bars, restaurants, coffee shops in all categories for families, groups, couples, or solo adventurers. The romantic presence of the Bow River sweeps through this burgeoning western metropolis, where the outdoors is always present via idyllic walking paths, parklands, and the constant lure of the spectacular Rocky Mountains nearby.
