For a bird's eye view of Downtown Calgary and the snow-covered Rockies, take a ride to the top of the Calgary Tower, a freestanding observation deck with panoramic views. You can see tigers, gorillas, and nearly 1,400 other animals at the immersive Calgary Zoo, then delve into Canadian history at the renowned Glenbow Museum. Downtown Calgary vacation rentals are also close to the Canada Olympic Park, an inspiring place to see athletes in training, and the Scotiabank Saddledome, where you can scream along with the locals at an ice hockey game. Come July, you can mingle with cowboys at the rootin' tootin' Calgary Stampede.
Although Downtown Calgary is close to the powder-pounding ski resorts of the Rocky Mountains, you don't need to leave the city to get stuck into the great outdoors.

In summer, ever-present breezes keep Downtown Calgary pleasant during the day and cool at night. It's a great time to walk or cycle the numerous trails that wind through Downtown Calgary and along the Bow River, or drive to the Rocky Mountains for spectacular scenery.
