Prince's Island Park: This is the city's largest inner-city park and is a great spot for walking and spending some time outdoors. In summer, don't miss Shakespeare in the Park and the Calgary Folk Music Festival.
Stampede Grounds: If you're not in town during the Stampede in July don't miss out on the action, visit the grounds in the off-season in Victoria Park.
Chinatown: Canada's third largest Chinatown is located in the northern part of Calgary along Centre Street S. It's the best place to get your hands on authentic Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese food. The streets are lined in shops, cultural centres and tasty restaurants.
